Figuring out the IIS Version for a given OS in .NET Code

« Here's an odd requirement: I need to figure out what version of IIS is available on a given machine in order to take specific configuration actions when installing an IIS based application.

For example, when dealing with XP machine you can't set up an Application Pool for an application because XP (IIS 5.1) didn't support Application pools.

ASP.NET vNext (VisualStudio and ASP.NET new release features)

“Over the next few months I’m going to be doing a series of posts that talk about some of the cool new features coming with the next releases of ASP.NET and Visual Studio (which we will start talking about more in the months ahead).  They contain a ton of new functionality and improvements – for both Web Forms and MVC - that I think you’ll really like, and which make building applications easier, faster and better.”

Full Screen Web Apps

“One of the first problems encountered when building a mobile web app from scratch is the amount of space consumed by the browser’s address bar. This tutorial will demonstrate how to reclaim the screen real estate otherwise lost to the address bar while accounting for orientation changes, content height problems, and internal document links.”
