My development machine is running Windows XP SP2 (and IIS 5.1 by implication). Until recently our deployment environment was based around Windows Server 2003 (and therefore IIS 6.0). We are about to move to Windows Server 2008 (and therefore IIS 7.0) for a new project. Our projects use ASP.NET MVC and WCF Services. Are there any key ...
I have deployed an ASP.NET MVC web application to an IIS 7 server. It's in the root directory of the www folder.

Basically I: routes.IgnoreRoute(name); var ignore_route = string.Concat(nam...

I have an ISAPI DLL that is configured in IIS for wild card mapping. When a request URL corresponds to a static file, I want IIS's StaticFileModule to serve that file. When the file doesn't exist, I want the ISAPI DLL to handle it. The handlers section of my web.config, located in the root of the static files hierarchy, looks like t...

I know there were a couple similar questions, but none solved my problem. This issue just started within the last couple of days. I don't always hit VS everyday, so I can't say for sure when it began. When I start debugging, the app loads in IE, but the w3wp process dies with the message "The program '[9252] w3wp.exe: Managed' h...
