I'm trying to configure IIS to parse a .xml file just like it would parse a .aspx file. The reason is I have some c# code in a <script> block that does scans some folders and then spits out dynamic xml. Now normally I'd just do this in a .aspx file, and set the consuming code to grab the .aspx URL for the xml data. But, the consumin...

Hi, I've got a rendering extension for reporting services which uses the ReportExecution2005.asmx service to execute a number of "subreports" and then puts the results in a powerpoint presentation. A typical usage scenario would be to go to the Report Manager, select my "Powerpoint" report, which is used only as a placeholder for param...
I'm working on a web application using isapi_wsgi and django-pyodbc. I'd like to have a way to install all dependencies and push the files out to the webserver. Unfortunately, some of these are easier said than done. In particular, handling dependencies is a pain as some of them won't install correctly even under setuptools (pywin32 i...

Hi guys, I've got a WCF service with quite a long start up time (lots of data is being fetched from Oracle into RAM). It's recycled everyday at 4am which is fine, but I would like to explicitly start it at 4:30am so the first user (using Silverlight client) will not have to wait for the service to start next morning. What would be the b...

I have a number of asp and asp.net 2.0 applications that I need to move to a new Win2003 server. I've created a test suite to verify that different aspects are installed and configured properly, but other than exporting the IIS metabase from the two servers and comparing manually, are there any tools or techniques I'm missing? ...
In IIS 6, using Perl, I was able to send a stream of output to the client rather than buffering the entire thing and dumping it out at all once. This allowed such things as progress bars and such to be used. How can I accomplish the same thing in IIS 7? ...
I have a report that I currently allow the user to choose an output option (HTML or PDF) when they are supplying the report parameters (date range, filters, etc.). I want to change the report such that it always does HTML and puts a link on the rendered HTML page so the user can grab the PDF if they want it. How do I modify my IIS6/IIS...
I recently moved to a new machine and forgot to make a backup of applicationHost.config before mucking around with IIS7's settings using both appcmd and the Management Console. I would now like to restore IIS7's settings to their original state, but I don't have a backup of the original settings to restore from. By the way, I do know...
I have a .net 2.0 click-once application that connects to IIS web services on Windows 2003 R2 64-bits. The IIS is setup with Integrated Windows Authentication.

We'd like to have three config files in our codebase -- web-dev.config, web-test.config, and web-prod.config. Each IIS instance would be configured to read from their specific file. This way we have version control them all next to each...
