  18. Differences Between IIS Express and IIS

  19. Personal Web Server Mode • By default one applicationHost.config file is generated per user unless one is specified: • Sites are persistent, similar to IIS • Template located at: %ProgramFiles%\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationHost.config • Syntax:iisexpress.exe [/config:config-file] [/site:site-name] [/systray:true|false] [/siteid:site-id] [/userhome:user-home] • ApplicationHost.config file is kept in %UserProfile%\Documents\IISExpress\config

  20. Application Server Mode • Configuration is transient • Temporary configuration file generated when IIS Express starts • Template located at: %ProgramFiles%\IIS Express\AppServer\applicationHost.config • Syntax:iisexpress.exe /path:app-path[/port:port-number] [/clr:clr-version][/systray:true|false] • ApplicationHost.configfile is created in user’s %TEMP%\iisexpress folder

  21. Managing IIS Express in Visual Studio 2010 • Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and later have built-in IIS Express integration
