Limitations of the VirtualPathProvider Class
Unfortunately, you can’t use the VirtualPathProvider with every type of file. In particular, the following types of files must always be located on the file system:
• Global.asax file
• Web.Config files
• App_Data folder
• App_Code folder
• App_GlobalResources folder
• App_LocalResource folders
• Bin folder
Every other type of file is fair game. This includes ASP.NET pages, User controls, Themes, and Master Pages.
