FWIW, the virtual path property in the "Try It Out" on p. 238 does not seem to make a difference when built as a Web Application Project. In fact there is no place to set the virtual path that I could find. Further, the URL on the browser was of the form http://localhost:49198/Default.aspx, as described on page 239 after the virtual path has been set to '/'.

I did try it with a plain web site and got the described behavior.

For a WAP, open up the project's Properties and check the Web tab. There you can set the Virtual path). For a WAP,, this defaults to /
