I would prefer not to change any Project properties since it will affect other deployments. To answer you questions as to Why.
I want to install/deploy this Web API to my public site (on DiscountASP.NET). And I would prefer to separate it from other files already on the site. This way, I am not going to be confused (when maintaining this Web API) the purpose of this or that .DLL. And I want this Web API Web.config to be in a sub-folder, again, so that it does not conflict with already existing Web.config.
I was hoping that there is a setting in Web.config that could be "pointing" to the "new/different" name of the BIN folder.
Thank you.

UPDATE. The following thread seem to show how to have DLLs in different sub-folder BIN. So I will create a sub-folder "mywebapi" and then a subfolder "mywebapi/bin" and place all DLLs to the sub-folder "bin". I will just need to figure out what URL will start in the "mywebapi" folder and will use the web.config in this folder. If you can suggest, please let me know.

UPDATE 2. The above thread works. I added the line they suggested to the web.config and it works. Note that the entry in the web.config has to reference the physical folder name (the way it is stored on the web server) which I got from the error message.

Thank you for listening. I am sure I will have more questions :)
