The Virtual objects tab provides options for storing virtual objects in the file system on the disk and back in the system's database.
This section enables you to prepare your website for deployment or for running in a Medium trust environment:
•Store all virtual objects in file system button saves all objects using VirtualPathProvider (page layouts, page templates, transformations and web part layouts) to the disk. Target folder for all virtual object files is ~/CMSVirtualFiles.
•Store all virtual objects in database button moves the virtual objects back in the system's database (the files on the disk are deleted).
The deployment mode:
•When the deployment mode is OFF
The location of virtual objects depends on the Source control options.
•When the deployment mode is ON
The relevant virtual objects are moved from the database to the file system on your disk. Target folder is ~/CMSVirtualFiles.
The source control options allow you to move chosen virtual objects on the disk, where you can edit them using an external editor or manage their versioning using a source control system. You can always move them back into the database.
