MSDN Magazine: Extend IIS 7.0 end-to-end
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 ...

MSDN Mag: Enhance Your Apps with the ASP.NET Integrated Pipeline!
At last, my MSDN article about using the ASP.NET Integrated Pipeline is out in MSDN Magazine. This article is all about using existing ASP.NET features and building new ASP.NET modules to improve existing applications.
What's more, I do this without touching a single line of the application itself, which happens to be a PHP application using the IIS 7.0 FastCGI support.
So go read the article for an in-depth look at using the power of ASP.NET Integrated pipeline to add features, improve security, and turbo-charge performance of your applications. Then head over to my blog to learn more about doing this yourself for your apps on IIS 7.0 - starting with building your own modules and handlers.

Breaking Changes for ASP.NET 2.0 applications running in Integrated mode on IIS 7.0
ASP.NET 2.0 applications on IIS 7.0 are hosted using the ASP.NET Integrated mode by default. This new mode enables a myriad of exciting scenarios including using super-valuable ASP.NET features like Forms Authentication for your entire Web site, and developing new ASP.NET modules to do things like URL rewriting, authorization, logging, and more at the IIS level.
As you know, with great power comes great responsibility. Similarly, with making ASP.NET applications more powerful in IIS 7.0 comes the responsibility of making sure that existing ASP.NET applications continue to work. This has been a major challenge for us as we re-architected the entire core engine of ASP.NET, and in the end we were highly successful in meeting it.
This post lists the changes in behavior that you may encounter when deploying your ASP.NET applications on IIS 7.0 on Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008. Read the detailed list of breaking changes at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/12/08/IIS-7.0-Breaking-Changes-ASP.NET-2.0-applications-Integrated-mode.aspx.

Mvolo.com is back!
After several weeks of move-related outages, mvolo.com is back online at its new home at MaximumASP.
The server ran Windows Server 2008 beta 3 for 5+ months in my friend's garage without a single reboot, while the only access I had to it was through the blog's publishing interface. The new specs are orders of magnitude better than what I had before, so I am pretty excited to see the improvements in responsiveness.Read more at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/09/23/Mvolo.com-is-back_2100_.aspx.

New IIS7 modules, Hosting roadshow, MSDN magazine, IIS7 Resource Kit, and more
I've haven't had a chance to post much over the past few weeks - its pretty frustrating at times to look at the ever-increasing backlog of juicy IIS7 topics that I want to cover and no time to actually do them justice.
I've been working on a few interesting things lately, that have been taking my extra time.

IIS Authentication plugin for the Wordpress PHP blogging engine
This weekend, I was working on an MSDN magazine article and happened to install the Wordpress PHP blog app on IIS7. Of course, I used the latest FastCGI bits available in the box in in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3, and the latest Windows-optimized PHP 5.2.3 build from www.php.net. Long story short, I ended up writing a Wordpress plugin that allows Wordpress to use IIS authentication methods, including forms authentication.
Read about installing Wordpress on IIS7, the Wordpress extensibility model, and get the IIS Authentication plugin here: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/08/12/IIS-Authentication-plugin-for-the-Wordpress-PHP-blogging-engine.aspx.
