ASP.NET and IIS Configuration

The topics in this section provide information about how to use IIS (Internet Information Services) with ASP.NET applications. How you configure an ASP.NET application depends on what version of IIS the application is running in. For example, in IIS 6.0, the ASP.NET MMC snap-in provides IIS-related administration features for configuring ASP.NET. In IIS 7.0, the administration of ASP.NET applications is integrated with IIS administration and there is no separate snap-in. Instead, all IIS and ASP.NET configuration is performed by using the same administration tools.

Note

For more information about how to configure the application pool for the .NET Framework version 3.0 or 3.5, see the entry How to set an IIS Application or AppPool to use ASP.NET 3.5 rather than 2.0 on Scott Hanselman's blog.
