Apache Question

[fergmj]

I want to develop Web Applications using C# and ASP.Net but I see from a book I am reading that ASP.NET can only use IIS. My company won't let us use IIS because of security problems. Can I use Apache with ASP.NET. Can anyone recommend a way around this if not?

I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks

Mindy

No. As far as I can tell, Apache will most likely never support .NET because of its strong hold on the Java world. I would take that as a challange and show them the benefits of IIS and .NET as opposed to Apache. The reason there are security holes is because it is a stronger web server that allows you more functionality. Also, ASP caused a bundle that ASP.NET doesn't have. Anyway, if it's really worth your time, I'd look into it. ________________________________________

I see Covalent has a solution for using Apache 2.0 with ASP.NET but it is expensize ($1400) - OUCH! I REALLY want to go with the IIS and I completely understand what you are saying about the security issues being "less" but you know the "powers that be."

Thanks!!

Yes, I totally understand. My organization wants to standardize on Java (of course it won't happen), but I am fighting it as hard as I can. I have plenty of proof to back up everything I argue, so I have a good fight. The biggest problem is that I do not have the clout to argue it. I have backing within my organization, but the "powers that be" in this case are higher. We'll just see what damage I can do - I am a force to be dealt with and will definitely prove to be a fight they will have to work hard at!

...maybe that's cause I'm so hard-headed and argumentative? Who knows!?

In a year or so john. Have you checked the completion on the object model?

Personally I cannot wait for this. I wrote a stupid C# app on Linux last night. It compiled just fine. Although I encountered many frustrations finding empty objects and non-existant ones. But it is pretty frickin' cool. foo
