Asked by:
MVC and existing website

Question
-
Hi,
I'd like to run an mvc3 application with my current website, but precompiling that website or turning it into a web application project are out of the question. Is it possible that I can just create another virtual directory/application under the website in IIS, that is a child application and just install my compiled dlls for the mvc 3 application in that directory?
Thanks!

I am not clear from your description "I'd like to run an mvc3 application with my current website". What is the meaning of current web site?
If you are using IIS for running your app then you also run MVC application from your IIS but it requires .net 4 and you have to make following references copy local true from your project reference.
- Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
- System.Web.Helpers
- System.Web.Mvc
- System.Web.Razor
- System.Web.WebPages
- System.Web.WebPages.Deployment
- System.Web.WebPages.Razor

That didn't really address my question - the question was deploying it with an existing website, not what it takes to normally deploy it. I posted to the asp.net forum.Tuesday, March 6, 2012 2:38 PM
