Implemented a virtual path provider to dynamically load some files from a shared project in a new web application. Everything works fine in dev/deployed and local IIS. When deploying to production we are encountering "Failed to start monitoring file changes" error when trying to find a 'virtual file'. GetCacheDependency is overridden in our VirtualPathProvider but when I remote debug the function is never hit. Any Ideas?
EDIT:
public override System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency GetCacheDependency(string virtualPath, System.Collections.IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies, DateTime utcStart)
{
if (CheckVirtual(virtualPath))
{
string realName = CustomVirtualPathProvider.CleansePath(virtualPath);
return new System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency(baseDirectory + realName);
}
return Previous.GetCacheDependency(virtualPath, virtualPathDependencies, utcStart);
}
I register the VPP in the global asax. It only fails in production which leads me to believe that its a iis settings issue.
