Zubair.NET!

The other day I watched the .NET Show on MSDN featuring IIS 7. The 1.5 hour video demonstrated some of the new features. I have highlighted some of them below.

• New Admin GUI makes it easy to administer your IIS configuration settings
• Componentized and modularized configurations/installation which enables administrator and IT Pros to install the features that they want
• Plug additional modules directly into IIS Configuration using HTTP Module and HTTP Handlers -- a feature previously allowed for ASP.NET
• XML based configuration settings makes it easier to deploy IIS settings across many servers
• Delegate IIS Admin tasks to website developers to give them control on their websites enabling them to administer common IIS configuration settings for their web applications
• Quickly allows you to diagnose and resolve any application errors
• Manage IIS and ASP.NET configuration from a single admin tool that features different modules such as HTTP Handlers, Delegations, Custom Errors and so on.
• Friendly error messages in the browser and steps to resolve any configuration errors
• Using Code Access Security, forms authentication can be set on any file-types other than ASP.NET files only
• New diagnostic capabilities such as Failed Request Tracing allows you to monitor your web application for error codes or time taken to process a request and log tracing information of these request.

These are some of the highlights from the show – watch the show here
