I recently got a copy of my friend Scott Forsyth's IIS 7 book from WROX. The book has 6 authors and covers just about everything you need to know about IIS 7. I have examined a few IIS 7 books and have played a little with IIS 7 so far. Professional IIS

The topic recently came up where I was asked how I set up multiple sites on the same port and IP address in IIS. There are two separate threads on how this works, first is setting the web site to respond to the primary domain and the www alias or more

Earlier this week IIS 7 was approved as a finished product by the team at Microsoft . This is great news. I have not let myself get too involved with IIS 7 up to this point, but that will be changing this week. I have been working on some virtual images

I get asked this question a lot as I go around demonstrating the benefits of using URL Rewriting in ASP.NET, how can I process wildcard extensions and just directories in IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 and ASP.NET? It is very simple, but not obvious at all.

This evening I decided to suck it up and fix an ongoing problem with IIS. Basically some of the controls were not working correctly, the menu control and Infragistics controls mostly. It has been this way for about 2 months, but I have just lived with it because I am so busy with projects lately. But today I decied to fix this issue because I know there is something wrong at the core and as it turns out it is pretty easy to fix by removing IIS and re-installing it.

This will have to be part one of two entries. I am about to start migrating a few rather large DotNetNuke sites to ASP.NET 2.0 and I want to make sure that any links people have to the pages are handled corrrectly. The best way I think to do this is the set up a 310 Redirect handler

Putting a new site or just an upgrade of an old site in IIS is pretty easy. You just have to go to the ASP.NET tab of the site configuration and select the version (2.0....) you need. I found a quick Blog entry on this.

I just can not think of many sites I have developed over the years that do not need the ability to the owner or users to upload files. This is a very important topic for any web developer to understand.

I really like the fact that VS 2005 offers its own little private web server to debug your apps with. I really do not like that I can not figure out how to add virtual directories to it. Why you may ask would I need to do that? Well despite the many instances when you do this in real life, for instance I am posting a private application on a customer's site today. But more often than not you will be using a thirda party control, like Infragistics or the FreeTextBox.
