  Using w/ASP.Net Development Server Reply Contact I wrote my own rewriting module but then discovered that it didn't work with IIS7.  So I then changed to the IIS7 module.  I noticed that when I created rules they get saved to my web.config file in the <rewrite> section. So now I'm creating the rules manually in web.config in Visual Studio (2008)... but Visual Studio does not recognize the <rewrite> section and the ASP.Net Development Server does not seem to have the IIS7 rewrite module built into it... so nothing works. Is there a way to fix this?  To be honest this is really frustrating.  I had working code and then IIS7 won't let me use it.  So I move to the new stuff and now my development environment doesn't work with it.  Retarded.

  Re: Using w/ASP.Net Development Server Reply Contact The ASP.NET Development Server isn't IIS, and that is most likely the reason why IIS-specific modules doesn't work. It is just a simple web server, and doesn't have all the features that IIS has. So the only way i see that you can "fix" this, is to use IIS as the web server when developing. This article should explain how to set this up:  "Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7.0" http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/387/using-visual-studio-2008-with-iis-70/ Kristofer Gafvert http://www.gafvert.info/iis/
