Is there any way to create a virtual directory in IIS express? I know that Cassini can't do this and it would be nice to be able to do this without using a full version of IIS.
I've got it so far that I can browse to my application locally in IIS express like this:
What I would like to do is create a virtual directory called "OffSiteStuff" and point it to some location on my C drive, like "c:\offsitestuff" and then browse to items in that folder like this:
http://localhost:1132/OffSiteStuff/UserUploadedImage.jpg
I know I could do this with a folder within my site and still use IIS Express, or, for that matter plain old Cassini, but this folder will store images uploaded by users and I really don't want to have these images mixed up with application files.
The other, "go big" solution is to deploy the site onto a full blown Server 2008 IIS 7.5 instance every time I want to debug the features that use offsite content, but that is a bit cumbersome too.
Is there any way I can do this in the <System.WebServer /> Web config element?
