Running VS2005 with IIS7

The team I work within has been doing a lot of work to get Vista/IIS7 and VS2005 to play nice, I can't say the experince has been nice and I do wonder what its been like for others. Here's a few things that you need to be careful of.

Just curious, why do you need to run VS w/ IIS7 seeing as Vista Server won't be released for at least 6 months?

Simple curiousity :-).

Well if you are running Vista on your desktop you have to write code some how ;-)

Not covered on any of the links but make sure that windows authentication is enabled for the VS2005 debugger to attach ok, to do this open up the IIS7 MMC interface click on your web app, click authentication and set "windows authentication" to enabled.

-- This is required for all IIS

The VS 2005 Patch for Vista is now available for download.  This improves the experience quite a bit, and also provides helpful error messages (including the step to enabling windows authentication) when things aren't configured right.

Just to clarrify - you don't need to run the app-pool in compat mode once you have the patch installed.  Both integrated and classic mode are supported.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Disappointed to find out that Vista Home Premium IIS7 doesn't come with Windows Authentication. Does anyone know of a solution to running web apps on IIS7 without Windows Authentication???

I had the same error and I fixed it. I had other issues with Vista SP1, VS 2005 and IIS 7 and I have written a post here developershelf.blogspot.com/.../problem-loading-iis7-hosted-wap.html
