On my previous machine I had IIS6 installed and created a web project using IIS as the host. This project was completed, published to an internal hosting server and checked in to source control. I now need to go back and make a minor change to the project, however in the meantime I have acquired a new machine. On my new machine I don’t...
I don't know what has got into my computer today. I was developing just fine in VS 2008 and testing my ASP.NET web site on my development server.

I am developing a website in ASP.NET and I am using various javascript frameworks/libraries. The different files belonging to these frameworks/libraries rarely changes thus there is no reason to refresh those files once they have been sent to the client browser (atleast not everytime a page is served). I see that the HttpContext object ...
I have an ASP.NET project (VS2008 on Windows 7 with either webforms, MVC1, or MVC2 -- all the same result for me) which is just the File->New hello world web project.

I've been evaluating linq to entities and linq to SQL for a project. Obviously each has its own advantages and disadvantages which have been discussed plenty of times here. However, One thing I am seeing with L2E is kind of odd. Using L2S, when using the ASP.NET Development Server, the performance is a little slower for my web ser...
I've got a few projects and websites in my solution. When I debug a website, ports are opened for all the websites. I'm thinking this slows down my debugging. How do I switch off these extra ports rather than excluding the websites from the solution? ...

I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere. Either it's my imagination or the ASP.NET Dev Server (Cassini) cannot handle multiple threads (e.g. multiple requests). Is this correct? Does IIS Express handle multiple threads? ...

I've been working on the ASP.NET Development Server recently (on an MVC project and I'm finding that it is inconsistent in how it serves the changes I make to my code.
