IIS Express: Express Edition of IIS Web Server


The ASP.NET development tools are getting better and better these days with latest releases from Microsoft. But Microsoft is now also coming out with a new web server to support all ASP.NET developers’ benches with the most new launch: IIS Express.

Before IIS Express, the ASP.NETdevelopers have two points for testing your sites against a web server prior to IIS Express:
1, IIS Web Server – Windows in-built function
2, Visual studio’s in-built ASP Development Web Server
Both are pretty good at their places, but as a developer, you might need something at times which requires addition of capabilities of these both. Now, with IIS Express … you can have the Web Server that is easy to setup and install, and offers a full set of IIS Web Server functionality. Some of the nice features of IIS Express range as:

Ø  No specific requirement for Admin account to run and debug applications in ASP.NET
Ø  It can be installed side-by-side along with IISWeb Server/ASP Development Server
Ø  It works well with Windows XP and up
