IIS Web Development SDK
Purpose
Internet Information Services (IIS) turns a computer into a Web server that can provide World Wide Web publishing services, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) services, Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) services, and Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) services. You can use IIS to host and manage Web sites and other Internet content once you obtain an IP address, register your domain on a DNS server, and configure your network appropriately. IIS is a component of the Microsoft? Windows? operating system.
The Web application section of the IIS Software Developer Kit (SDK) is a resource for developers who want to create Web applications by using one of the technologies listed in the table below.
Where Applicable
Please see this section in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 SDK for a list of available IIS products and their target operating system.
