We have several ASP.NET project running on external
server, the problem we face is all bin folder on this
server get hidden so this reason all asp.net project get
error saying bin folder doesn't found couldn't access any
site. Whenever we create bin folder this get hidden and we
can access thru command prompt only doesn't have any
hidden attribute set for this folder. Please Help

What do you mean "hidden"? How do you know that it's "hidden"?

There is an ISAPI filter that will prevent HTTP requests to /bin folder on
IIS 6.0, but the folder itself should not be hidden.

Cheers
Ken

The behavior is by-design.

If you have ASP.Net projects that make URL-level references to /bin, your
application is broken and needs to be fixed.  The bin directory is not meant
to store website resources that are accessible via a URL.  It is only meant
to be access via the filesystem.  Put your graphics, HTMs, etc elsewhere.

On IIS5, ASP.Net will actively change metabase property to prevent IIS from
showing the bin directory.  On IIS6, ASP.Net cannot change the metabase, so
it actively filters all URL preventing access to /bin URL. Neither behavior
are configurable/changeable, and do not try to circumvent them.

You can change it with,
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AS
P.NET]
"StopBinFiltering"=dword:00000001

but not recommended.

And to add to this - in Asp.Net 2.0 there are more magic folders - data and
code and maybe more? Is this documented anywhere? I haven't found anything
about the bin directory being inaccessible either

Jerry,

Try this :

All requests with /bin in the URL are rejected and return a 404 error

All of this is documented. Look in the .NET Framework SDK

I did look, would you mind posting a link? I did find topics like this:

ms-help://MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_vwdcon/html/3ef36871-2cb9-452a-8c96-2068
fccead18.htm

or

ms-help://MS.NETFramework.v20.en/dv_aspnetcon/html/40130404-8509-4efa-b4db-3
6ebaaba5b62.htm

But absolutely nothing about an ISAPI filter returning 404 to any requests
to those folders. Paul's reference is to an IIS documentation, not .Net,
which is probably why I didn't know about that and why it isn't updated for
.Net 2.0 to include the new folders.
