ASP.NET tab disappears from IIS MMC Application Properties

When Visual Studio 2005 installed on W2K or Win2003 platform, ASP.NET tab magically disappears from IIS MMC. ASP.NET tab used to set ASP.NET version for specified virtual directory. This behavior was introduced with 8.0.50203.0 (CTP) version and still present in beta2 release.

There is an open bug on this (open by Juan T. Llibre). Please review and vote.

For now if you want to run both ASP.NET 1.X and ASP.NET 2.0 on the same machine, you can use Denis Bauer's ASP.NET Version Switcher

Thanks to Memi Lavi for better solution: Clean registry settings. Worked for mine W2K VS2005 installation

ASP.NET 1.X to ASP.NET 2.0 migration talk

I am going to talk about ASP.NET 1.X to ASP.NET 2.0 migration at "Get Ready to VS2005" Microsoft Israel event.

Topics I am planning for now are:
  • Side-by-Side execution and configuration
  • Automatic conversion and Upgrade Wizard
  • XHTML and client resources issues
  • New Compilation model issues
  • Naming collisions

If anybody can think of other issues/pitfalls related to 1.X to 2.0 migration, I'll be glad to here. Any suggestion is welcome!
