The other simplified way is fron only 4 steps as follows

  1. In Visual studio -> Right click the project in solution explorer and Publish Your web application using File System with the Folder name (myurl)

  2. Go to IIS-> Under the Default Web site ->Right Click -> Add Virtual Directory -> Give the alias Name as (myurl) -> Give the physical path as the folder which you created in point no #1

  3. Click Ok -> Right click on the (myurl) -> Convert to application

  4. Now Browse from IIS-> You will get the Result as you expected

The solution you can do is to create a Virtual Directory Application , you should do it like this:

  1. Open the Visual Studio in Administration Mode
  2. Right click on the Project in solution explorer -> Properties -> web -> Click on the Radio button Use Local IIS Web Server-> Give the Project URL (http://localhost/myurl) and click on the Create Virtual Directory
  3. Right click the project in solution explorer and Publish Your web application using File System
  4. Go to IIS-> Under the Default Web site -> Refresh -> You can see the Virtual Directory you created (myurl)
  5. Right Click on the Virtual Directory-> manage application -> Advance Settings -> Change the Physical path to the folder where you have the published files
  6. Now Browse from IIS-> You will get the Result as you expected
