A new directory is created under the selected Solution Root Folder using the VS.Net project name (see WebForm Options) that contains the converted WebForms aspx and aspx.vb files. An images sub directory is created that initially contains supplied images used by the conversion program. New image files are added when the program encounters them in Access forms.
