Tutorial for Using ASP.Net MVC Framework on Different Versions of IIS
Last night Alan Dean came up to VBUG in Newcastle to speak on ASP.Net MVC Framework. One of the discussion points we had was any potential issues for hosting sites on IIS due to the routing and url rewrite elements of the MVC Framework. I wasn't clear on the implications, and I hadn't seen much traffic personally on the issue. So with a task of downloading ASP.Net MVC Framework Preview 5 so I could have a good look at it and understand it all as an alternative to Webforms, and looking into the implications and workarounds for hosting within versions of IIS I went of in search of information.

Creating Http Redirects in IIS7 on Virtual Directories like IIS6
In IIS6 when creating a virtual directory it was possible to set the virtual directory to actually add as a redirect to another page or site. In IIS7 this is still possible however it needs to be achieved slightly differently. Lets take an example. Say you have a website and you are running a number of offers and would like to offer users the option of navigating to them through a short path such as domain/offer1, domain/offer2 etc then you would have in IIS6 set these Virtual Directories up with dummy Physical Paths, e.g. the root of the parent site, and set the option to redirect to a URL.
