Configuring ASP.NET in IIS7

Question

Is there a way to configure ASP.NET in IIS7?

I know this must be a stupid question, but in IIS7 I see an icon for ASP. Is this configuration for Classic ASP?

Answer 3

IIS 7 is very different from previous versions, especially with regards to ASP.NET.

In previous versions, the ASP.NET runtime was a separate DLL and separate process, whereas in IIS7 the ASP.NET runtime has been integrated into the core IIS server.

IIS7 does also include support for "classic" ASP, so the icon you see simply called "ASP" will be for "classic" ASP configuration. There should be a separate section for ASP.NET configuration.

Note that all IIS7 and ASP.NET config is now done via .config files (like your machine.config and web.config in ASP.NET).

The following links should provide further information:

Answer 4

Have you installed ASP.NET in IIS7? It might not be installed by default.

Answer 5

What exactly do you want to configure?

In IIS manager there's an entire section for ASP.NET.
