Hi Coskun,

Thanks for your replay.
It seems that i was using an early version of EPiCode VirtualPathProvider.
It is working fine now after getting the current version and updating my Provider code.

Hi Youssef,

I have, myself, upgraded some 5R2 projects to 6R2 as well. I do not think we have had any problems related to the VPP. One chance is that the provider configuration might have been removed by the upgrade script for some reason. Other than that I do not think I have any idea.

I was using this method with CMS5R2.
but after upgrading to CMS6R2 my VirtualPathProvider crashes … tried to remove the registration worked fine in the local environment but on the server it doesn’t retrieve any of my files.
Can you please advice what may be the problem?

Hi Tom,

I am still not aware of any official solution on this issue. However, I am glad that the post helps someone out there even after 4 years.

This solution has worked for me also, with entering the code into the Application_Start() event in the Global.asax file in a web application project.

Since this article is now nearly 4 years old, is there any sign of changes from MS so that the site can utilise a VPP whilst being precompiled. If a site is not precompiled, then there is a performace hit due to each page taking a while to load when it receives a request for the first time.

Worked for me too. Was looking for such a workaround since a long time. I hope this is fixed also to avoid any future complications.
Thank you Coskun!
