MSDN Magazine: Extend IIS 7.0 end-to-end

mvolo — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:06:00 GMT

In this month's launch edition of MSDN magazine, we celebrate the release of Windows Server 2008. It's been a long road and we are finally done!

Of course, this celebration wouldnt be complete without a juicy article on IIS 7.0 - this time, showing off the complete extensibility of the Web server by building a full-blown Web server feature with configuration and IIS Manager components. The article shows off my latest project, the Response Modification Framework, which is pretty cool on its own ...

Developing IIS7 web server features with the .NET framework

mvolo — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 07:38:00 GMT

This article, the first in the IIS7 .NET Developer series, focuses on getting started with developing IIS7 web server features based on the .NET Framework. Learn about the options you have for your development environment, how to set up your Visual Studio project, when to build a module vs. a handler, and more. By the end of the article, you would have built and deployed a simple IIS7 managed handler and module.

Redirect clients in your application with HttpRedirection module

mvolo — Thu, 24 May 2007 19:28:00 GMT

In a web application, it’s often necessary to redirect clients requesting one url to another url. A while ago, I wrote a module to do basic http redirection for an ASP.NET application. The HttpRedirection module allows you to configure regular expression-based rules that redirect clients from url A to url B, with a number of other features.

Display pretty file icons in your ASP.NET applications with IconHandler

mvolo — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 01:15:00 GMT

Do you like file icons? I do. They make it pretty easy to visually digest file lists in Windows, when you open a file system folder with explorer.

Displaying icons in your web application can also be pretty compelling (for example, to spruce up that boring directory listing page, or visually represent documents in your web app). Wouldn't it be cool if you can write an ASP.NET control or page that can embed these icons on your custom directory listing view?

Unfortinately, there is no easy way to get icons for files in the .NET framework, so you have to do a little interop with the Windows shell to get the icon for a file / file extension, and then figure out a way to serve it over the web as an image. So, I wrote an ASP.NET image handler that serves the icon for an aritrary file or extension, that you can simply drop into your application to get these pretty icons for whatever purposes you need.

Fix problems with Visual Studio F5 debugging of ASP.NET applications on IIS7 Vista

mvolo — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 01:39:00 GMT

A number of people have been reporting problems when trying to debug their ASP.NET applications on Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2005 F5 debugging support. There are a handful of posts about trying to get this to work in various ways ... most of which are missing key information needed to *really* get it to work.

Hopefully this will be the *definitive* guide to enabling F5 debugging on Vista / IIS7.
