I'm entering a parallel test and dev stage where I need to use one db for test and a different one for dev. How can I have the app choose which connection string to implement based on which physical folder it (the app) sits in? I know there are SVN strategies to consider but this is small-scale enough to avoid 2 sperate code-bases. Woul...

I have a server with IIS7 that I am using to host several different sites for testing. Due to an overabundance of bureaucracy, I am unable to use host headers (I can't get new entries on our internal DNS server and users can not change their local hosts file). I have set up the default site in IIS to have nothing but virtual directorie...
I have been trying to set up a custom 404 page for several days now but still haven't succeeded. The target system is EPiServer CMS 5 running on Windows 2003. My development system is EPiServer CMS 5 running on Windows Vista. this means I can only debug on a different version of IIS. Anyway: The problem is that the custom 404 is displa...
Consider a .NET application that performs lots of configuration changes in IIS such as changing Virtual Directories or enabling compression. With IIS6 everything could be accomplished using the metabase through DirectoryServices. However in IIS7, the Metabase compatiblity is an optional component, so I'm assuming that alternative ways s...
Today wanting to deploy an asp.net mvc application I had to enable .NET Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions, and ISAPI Filters on Win Small Buisness Server 2008 I was surprised 1h and I could not find how to do it.

We have an ASP.NET application that we recently migrated onto a new server with IIS7 and .NET 3.5. In this new environment, some users that are on IE (6, 7, or 8) are experiencing bizarre intermittent problems with postback not working on ASP.NET buttons. (you click the button and nothing happens) The issue happens sporadically. Someti...
Simple problem. I start up VS2008 and create a new WCF Service application. This will create a default application with a few test methods showing it works. I press CTRL+F5 and it does indeed work! Great! However, it uses the Visual Studio Development server, which I don't want to support. So I go to the project properties, switch to us...
I'm trying to add a pretty basic route to an Asp.Net Web Forms app (running under IIS 7, integrated mode): for requests coming to http://mydomain.com/foo/ I would like to show the results of a dynamic page (http://mydomain.com/foopage.aspx). I've created a RouteHandler that does all this and it seems to be routing correctly. public...

I would like to have our web applications pull static content (css, js, images) from a static file server running Windows Server 2008 and IIS7. What sort of optimizations would you make to the server for this single purpose? (Machine.config changes? Web.config changes? Special IIS7 setup or modules? What?) ...

However, once deployed, I receive the following error: Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource requi...

I've been trying to migrate a fairly large web application from IIS6 to IIS7 the past few days, but every time it seems like we're about done, IIS7 fails to load aspx pages. The application is a .net 3.5 webapp that makes heavy use of reflection and web services. We use 2 main components (each with their own web site in IIS7 although th...
Hi, I am using Server 2008 with IIS7 and have confirmed the HttpRedirectionModule is installed. But when I define a redirect for websitexxx.com as https://websitexxx.com I get Forbidden, access denied 403 error? I can access the https://website.com site just fine. Does this just not work or what? Thank you, James ...
