This setting is obsolete, starting with version 6.4 and there is no Route folder style caching any more and no Route folder is created. Instead, Visual WebGui relies on ASP.NET and browser caching which was proven to be more efficient and stable.

Static Resources, simply put, is a directory called "route", created automatically by the Visual WebGui framework under the virtual directory root on the server, in which all the (non dynamic) client resources of a Visual WebGui application are created, so the IIS can serve them as they are, without loading ASP.NET and Visual WebGui.

Static Resources are mostly used for achieving better performance in deployment environments, and should not be used in development environments, unless the developer does not add, change or remove resources from the application during the development phase.

Setting StaticResource to Off does not delete the "route" directory, but simply directs references to client resources to where they should be taken from, causing IIS to load ASP.NET and Visual WebGui for every request to retrieve a resource from the server. The "route" directory must then be removed manually.

This setting can either be set through the MS Visual Studio Visual WebGui integration project property-page or by manually editing web.config.
