The following code example is an implementation of the GetFile method in a custom VirtualPathProvider class. For the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the VirtualPathProvider class overview topic.

public override VirtualFile GetFile(string virtualPath)
{
  if (IsPathVirtual(virtualPath))
    return new SampleVirtualFile(virtualPath, this);
  else
    return Previous.GetFile(virtualPath);
}

Public Overrides Function GetFile(ByVal virtualPath As String) As VirtualFile
  If (IsPathVirtual(virtualPath)) Then
    Return New SampleVirtualFile(virtualPath, Me)
  Else
    Return Previous.GetFile(virtualPath)
  End If
End Function

The GetFile method returns a descendent of the VirtualFile class that represents the file specified by the virtualPath parameter.
