If you are taking advantage of the App_Code folder to develop an ASP.NET WebSite some times you need to use code files that are written in different .NET languages.

Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0

A few weeks back, I put together a detailed article about using Visual Studio 2008 to work with IIS 7.0 applications, collecting all the various how-to and gotchas I've blogged about in the past in one place. Now, you can find the same information for Visual Studio 2005, in a new article titled Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0. See the blog post here: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/04/04/Using-Visual-Studio-2005-with-IIS-7.0.aspx , and check out the article at Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0 .

Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7.0

In the past, I've blogged a number of times about using Visual Studio to develop and debug IIS 7.0 applications. I am happy to say that Visual Studio 2008 has added a number of improvements to work better with IIS 7.0, making it a lot easier to use it to develop, deploy, and debug those applications both locally and on remote IIS 7.0 servers. To help you get started with using Visual Studio 2008 to work with IIS 7.0 applications, I put together a new iis.net article precisely on the subject.

MSDN Magazine: Extend IIS 7.0 end-to-end

In this month's launch edition of MSDN magazine, we celebrate the release of Windows Server 2008. It's been a long road and we are finally done! Of course, this celebration wouldnt be complete without a juicy article on IIS 7.0 - this time, showing off the complete extensibility of the Web server by building a full-blown Web server feature with configuration and IIS Manager components. The article shows off my latest project, the Response Modification Framework, which is pretty cool on its own ... Read the article, learn about RMF, and more at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/02/18/MSDN-Magazine_3A00_-Extend-IIS-7.0-End_2D00_to_2D00_End.aspx . Thanks, Mike Read More...

Two-Level Authentication with Forms Authentication and Windows Authentication

The integration of IIS and ASP.NET authentication stages in Integrated mode applications brings a lot of benefits, including being able to use ASP.NET authentication features like Forms Authentication for the entire web site. However, it also prevents two-level authentication schemes that relied on the two separate authentication stages between IIS and ASP.NET from working. I mentioned this in the list of ASP.NET breaking changes in December. Since then, I've gotten many requests for re-enabling these scenarios in Integrated mode, so I put together a workaround for doing this in Integrated mode. To learn more and download the bits / source code of the workaround, see http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/02/11/IIS-7.0-Two_2D00_Level-Authentication-with-Forms-Authentication-and-Windows-Authentication.aspx .
