However, it is still possible to create portable ASP.NET applications that can function in all three environments without configuration changes.

See how at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/04/15/Creating-portable-ASP.NET-applications-that-work-on-IIS-6.0_2C00_-IIS-7.0-Classic_2C00_-and-IIS-7.0-Integrated-modes.aspx.

]]> Request is not available in this context exception in Application_Start https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mvolo/request-is-not-available-in-this-context-exception-in-application_start Sat, 10 Nov 2007 22:24:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mvolo/2007/11/10/request-is-not-available-in-this-context-exception-in-application_start/ The “Request is not available in this context” exception is one of the more common errors you may receive on when moving ASP.NET applications to Integrated mode on IIS 7.0.  This exception happens in your implementation of the Application_Start method in the global.asax file if you attempt to access the HttpContext of the request that started the application.

]]> Find your way around IIS 7 configuration sections with AppCmd https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mvolo/find-your-way-around-iis-7-configuration-sections-with-appcmd Thu, 01 Nov 2007 01:36:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mvolo/2007/11/01/find-your-way-around-iis-7-configuration-sections-with-appcmd/

The IIS 7 configuration system contains 50+ configuration sections (100+ if you count .NET Framework configuration), 477 attributes, and 57 collections.  This can make it pretty challenging to figure out exactly what IIS 7 configuration section needs to be used to turn on some particular behavior, and then exactly syntax the configuration in that section should follow.

This is not typically an issue for me, because I can write most IIS configuration from memory.  But, what if you didn't spend the past 4 years developing IIS7?

]]> Mike's IIS7 modules - what's coming next https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mvolo/mikes-iis7-modules-whats-coming-next Sun, 28 Oct 2007 03:11:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mvolo/2007/10/28/mikes-iis7-modules-whats-coming-next/ During IIS7 development, I've written quite a few modules for IIS7 / ASP.NET.  Some of these were for various demos, others were to help out various internal and external customers, and others just because they were fun to write. 

Now, I am thinking about upgrading some of these with the feature requests and bugfixes you have been asking for, and getting some new ones up as well.  Come check out what you can get right now, and weigh in on what I should next at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/10/28/Mike_2700_s-IIS7-modules-_2D00_-what_2700_s-coming-next.aspx.

]]> Temporary mvolo.com outages https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/mvolo/temporary-mvolo-com-outages Thu, 13 Sep 2007 21:44:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mvolo/2007/09/13/temporary-mvolo-com-outages/ You may have noticed mvolo.com being unavailable at certain points over the past two days.  I am in the process of moving the server across the country, and that combined with certain other toubles with the internet setup is contributing to spotty availability.

Next week the server will find its new permanent home so it will start being available 24/7 once again.

In the meantime, sorry for the inconvinience.  Do check back soon as there are A LOT of exciting news and new stuff coming your way next week.

Thanks,

I've been working on a few interesting things lately, that have been taking my extra time.
