Folder structure in asp.net

Question

Still on my early days of learning ASP.NET. Just wondering is there a best practice way to structure your folders in ASP.NET? i know the convention or standards in an MVC project. is there anything similar in pure ASP.NET?

If there are no standards. please kindly let me see how you(experienced asp.net gurus) structure your projects with explanations.

Thanks

Normally, you will see

• /App_Data (Standard)
• /App_Start (Standard - New)
• /App_Themes (Standard - Old)
• /Content (Standard - New)
• /Controls
• /Images
• /Scripts
• /MasterPages

The rest are personal preferences.

However, we normally keep authorized aspx pages in separate folder, so that we can use web.config to restrict access.
