Is it possible to programmatically resolve a URL to a file using ASP.NET and IIS? Specifically I'd like the file to be outside of my Virtual Directory (could be anywhere on the local file system). So if a URL comes in like http://mysite/somepicture.jpg I'd like to be able to return c:\mypicture.jpg. I looked into creating an IHttpModu...
I run IIS 5 on my dev machine. I have an asp.net 3.5 web service running on it which I'm calling from a different web app running on the same server. My service is returning an error 500 Internal Server error and I'm troubleshooting it. My request is being sent via a System.Net.HttpWebRequest object and it looks valid from the client'...
What's the best way to reload assemblies after you do a publish to a website and or gac some assemblies. An easy trick I've learned is to touch the web.config and it reloads the app domain. What are the best practices related to this? Is it possible to update a Server Activated Serviced Component without an IISRESET that is referenc...
I'm writing a C# .NET module and I would like to use the provider pattern. If my code is running on a web server, I have access to System.Web.Configuration and can call ProvidersHelper to load an appropriate provider as determined by the web.config data. If my code is running in a stand-alone environment, I won't have access to this...
We want to redirect all request in an ASP.NET site to ~/Default.aspx to close the site. We are using IIS7. The site has paths like this that return a page: http://test.com/operating We are using url rewriting. We want requests similar to those to be redirected to ~/Default.aspx http://test.com// http://test.com/.aspx http://test.co...
Hi there, i’ve got an “public” IIS “in the front” and another “private” IIS “in the back” of an network. I’d like to proxy http requests through the “public” IIS to the “private” IIS – and using ISAPI-Rewrite ( Version 3.1.0.62 ) it almost works. The problem is the authentication – I configured the “public” IIS to enable anonymous acc...
We have a web service that uses COM to talk to some DLLs. The data files that the DLL functions rely on are on a unix share, and we must specify the data file location when initializing the COM calls. We have installed SFU 3.5 on our Windows Server 2003 server. We can't use a mapped drive because IIS is running as a service (or can we?)....
I have a IIS problem that I think this blog gives me a fix for: To resolve it, Right Click on the virtual directory - select properties and then click on "Create" next to the "Application" Label and the textbox. It will automatically create the "application" using the virtual directory's name. Now the application can be accessed. ...

I have gotten the above in the apache config to successfully redirect ASP.NET pages to IIS, but the images on the pages are missing. I was thinking I need so...

When the initial request is made to the site using a url such as: http://localhost/site IE just displays the standard "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message.

I am having issues with IE6 (surprise) and HTTP Compression using IIS6. I really don't want to turn off HTTP Compression for the site. Is there a way to tell IIS6 to not compress responses to specific versions of browsers? IE7 works fine. EDIT: My problem actually comes from Silverlight 2 consuming a WCF Service. With compression tu...
As a dev team, we're looking to switch to asp.net MVC and I've heard rumors about IIS 6 not being able to support all of the MVC functionality. Is this true? Is there any official set of functionality supported in IIS 7 vs IIS 6? Should we completely avoid running it on IIS6? ...

I developed an ASP.NET page (.NET 2.0) and it works as a charm in the development environment. It is using AJAX.ASP.NET and only the shipped controls (no third-party controls). I published it to a live IIS6 web server, created the website, set up the .NET version, the application pool and the site can run scripts. I also unchecked anony...
I have a problem with timeouts in IIS. In the web.config the session timeout was set to 60 minutes but after 20 minutes the session ends. This problem only occurs in IIS7 and not in IIS5. After some investigation, I discovered it was due to the application pool's timeout. If the App Pool is left 20 minutes without doing anything, IIS ...
LogParser isn't open source and I need this functionality for an open source project I'm working on. I'd like to write a library that allows me to query huge (mostly IIS) log files, preferably with Linq. Do you have any links that could help me? How does a program like LogParser work so fast? How does it handle memory limitations? ...
I'm trying to do some very simple request throttling on my ASP.NET web project. Currently I'm not interested in globally throttling requests against DOS attacks, but would like to artificially delay the reponse to all login attempts, just to make dictionary attacks a bit harder to do (more or less like Jeff Atwood outlined here). How wo...
