IconHandler 2.0: file icons in your ASP.NET applications
Since its release, IconHandler has been a pretty popular module (on its own and with the custom DirectoryListingModule). Today, I am releasing v2.0 of IconHandler, which contains some much-requested functionality and fixes a few issues that people have reported with the original version.
Read all about it (and I mean all) and download at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/04/27/IconHandler-2.0-File-icons-in-ASP.NET-applications.aspx.
Thanks,

Creating portable ASP.NET applications that work on IIS 6.0, IIS 7.0 Classic, and IIS 7.0 Integrated modes
ASP.NET applications in IIS 7.0 Integrated mode requires configuration changes if they define custom modules or handlers. However, it is still possible to create portable ASP.NET applications that can function in all three environments without configuration changes.

Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0
A few weeks back, I put together a detailed article about using Visual Studio 2008 to work with IIS 7.0 applications, collecting all the various how-to and gotchas I've blogged about in the past in one place.
Now, you can find the same information for Visual Studio 2005, in a new article titled Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0.
See the blog post here: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/04/04/Using-Visual-Studio-2005-with-IIS-7.0.aspx, and check out the article at Using Visual Studio 2005 with IIS 7.0.
Thanks,

Backing up and restoring IIS 7.0 shared configuration
Bill's recent post reminded me of a question I often get about backing up and restoring configuration when IIS 7.0 is being used in the Shared Configuration mode. In this mode, the applicationHost.config file is stored on a UNC share to allow multiple IIS 7.0 servers to share a single configuration file.
When shared configuration is used, the backup behavior may not be what you are expecting, and places more responsibilities on you to maintain proper backups. Read more at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2008/03/25/backing-up-and-restoring-IIS-7.0-shared-configuration.aspx.
