I'm new to .net 4 but am experienced in .NET 3.5 and basic IIS set up but I'm confused as to why I must keep triggering a full site restart with Kartris to get certain changes to take effect.

For example, I understand that if I customise the main shop menu via the web_menu.sitemap nothing happens without a restart. Not sure why as I've never used .sitemaps before, but I don't know any different.

But today I needed to move my kartris installation into its own "shop" sub folder and I knew the base url setting could be managed within the administration area. I changed the two strings in the database and navigated to the site in its new location but it lost all its styles, relative links were wrong etc etc and refreshes did nothing until I restarted the site, which struck me as odd if the application is reading that setting dynamically.

I'm just interested to know if this a .net 4 thing or is it to do with the way this particular application has been written?
