How about “Because the 500k lines of code production system was developed when it was ‘the way’, and attempts at running the conversion process fail”?

This does require more up front work, but you get that time back really quickly since you’re not waiting on Cassini all the time!

Once I pull down the code from source control, I can not just hit F5 and start debugging application. 2. I cannot run multiple instances of the code. for example, what if I have 2 or more branches of the application code, then for each instance of the application I will have to create a dedicated IIS site. 3. It does require for the developer to have administrative rights on machine to administer IIS and have IIS installed in the first place. with that said I do prefer IIS over Cassini, when I have a choice. :) Good points, I do want to mention that this requires slightly more up front work:

Maybe that would have fixed the problem I solved above? Jon, love this - Not only is cassini slow but it would not render the page correctly so I was continually deploying to a local server to test. :-( On Win 7 don’t forget to check Asp.Net under IIS’s Application Development Features.

I've also had luck with that "create virtual directory" button that's just to the right of the "Project Url" field in your screen shot. As long as the url you enter in that field isn't already taken, I've never had a problem with letting Visual Studio create it all for me - saves from having to manually set it up in IIS manager.

I typically use a manually-configured IIS instance to run the larger apps I work with, but I wasn't aware you could plug it right in to the project. Slick! Interestingly, I didn't have to configure the "attach to process" section to successfully debug into the project. Maybe that's a feature of VS 2008 running on Win 7/IIS 7. Great stuff, Jon.
