Launching a web application from the bin \ debug folder

Question

I am trying to configure IIS to look for a DLL in the bin \ Debug directory (as opposed to the bin directory). I tried updating my web.config with the following line:

<runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <probing privatePath="bin\Debug" /> </assemblyBinding> 

However, he still does not see this directory. Is there anything else I am missing?

This is for secondary builds only. Jeff Atwood blogged about this. You cannot completely replace the bin folder. It just allows you to define an additional sensing folder.
