ASP.NET address in IIS

Question

We have an ASP.NET MVC Intranet hosted on our IIS server. As you'll know, a Visual Studio project/solution called "MyProject" for example, will have the first folder containing the solution, then another one containing the project files, so it would be http://intranet/myproject/myproject/ for example.

Is there a way to change this, so that it's just http://intranet/myproject?

Hope I've explained the issue clearly!

You're not forced to have a directory for the solution itself (and virtual directory may point to project folder directly) but well...actually you shouldn't make your source directories visible. You have to publish compiled web site (without source code, optimized and only with essential files). I hope IIS virtual directory is not root folder for your project (at least not in production)... — Adriano Repetti

@AdrianoRepetti the Virtual Directory was the second folder. So you have the "MySolution" folder where X amount of projects will be, then the virtual directory was "MyProject" — South Wilts
