Hi

Its been a few days that I have not been able to post blogs. I have been very busy these while. But yesterday I found this blog which talks about lot of cool new admin modules for IIS7.  The blog also explains how to use the modules. Do check it.

Hi,

One of thing that one of my friends told me (and I was surprised to know that) was that when we change the asp.net version in the IIS the IIS is restarted. This has been done with intension and has its reason behind it. But all these working with IIS and asp.net I have never noticed about it. So next time you change the version of Asp.net in IIS remember it will cause the IIS to restart

Hi,

One of the major changes in IIS 7.0 is that the HTTP context is not available in the application_start event. If you try to work with the http context (with the help of Httpcontext.current) in the application_start event in global.asax then you will receive an ASP.NET 500 – Server Error: Request is not available in this context.

In IIS 7.0 the Application Initialization has been decoupled from the request that has triggered the application start and hence the request is not available in the vent. In the classic mode , it was possible for us to indirectly access the request as the Asp.net initialization directly coupled with the request for which the application was started.
