Class VirtualDirectory

This class allows manipulation of virtual directories. Basically it allows creation or modification of a virtual directory.

The class uses DirectoryServices to perform this task and the CreateVirtual() and GetVirtual() methods return a reference to the VDir property which is a DirectoryEntry object to allow you full access to the various features exposed.

In creation of virtuals this class sets the properties based on the values of its member fields.
