C# Dot Net Platform?

[Martin Schmid]

Is it possible to run C# Dot Net applications on IIS4/NT4? What are the
minimum OS requirements? Thanks for any links for information!

You can certainly run .NET on NT4 (but needs service pack 6a). I don't
know whether or not ASP.NET will run on IIS4 though.

In the same idea, what are the benefits in running ASP.NET on a Windows
2003 rather than on a Windows 2000 (with .net framework installed) ?

Any things regarding the integration of the framework with IIS that you
can do within Win2003 IIS and not in Win2000 IIS ?

Cybertof,

The benefits of IIS on 2003 over 2000 are not related to ASP.NET, but
you are provided with improved reliability. Before, on 2000 (IIS 5 I
believe), the IIS service handled the incoming requests. If your
application caused a fault for some reason, then the service would be
brought down. Now, the request handling mechanism (and much of the other
logic that is common to all applications) is handled in a kernel-level
driver. This way, your application can't bring down the site (although your
specific processing won't occur). This allows IIS to try and re-start the
application in the case of a fault, in order to provide a more seamless
experience in the event of a failure.

Hope this helps.

IIS 6 vs IIS5 is the primary benefit. Secondly Server2003 is much more
secure.

Running ASP.NET on Win2003 let's you isolate the websites completely, while
on Win2000 it is always possible for any ASP.NET application to read
configuration information and assembly resources from the other sites on the
same server.
