Basics / Directory Structure

This topic shows the naming conventions used to denote the location of files on the server and the types of files you can find in those directories. ComponentUs Menu has the following directory structure after installation:

directory structure bin - is used to hold the application's ASP.NET assemblies, an example is ComponentUs.Menu.dll
componentus - required directory, may not be renamed, buried in another directory, or otherwise misplaced, contains menu directory.
menu - required directory, may not be renamed, buried in another directory, or otherwise misplaced, contains license and skins directories.
license - required directory, may not be renamed, buried in another directory, or otherwise misplaced, contains license.xml file.
skins - stores menu skins, you can rename or even move this directory to another location, just specify the path through the menu's SkinBaseUrl property.

Don't forget to copy bin and componentus folders to your application root folder after installation.
