What exactly is appbase

[Magdalene]

I came across the term "appbase folder" a few times when reading some ASP.NET books but couldn't find its definition so far.
Does it refer to the bin folder of an ASP.NET application or the folder in which the project file resides or ?

If you know the answer, would really appreciate your taking time to share with us.

Thanks.

The AppBase is the name given to the directory from which a managed executable was launched. In the case of an ASP.NET application, it would be the bin folder.
