asp.net - How to switch IIS Developer Express to "Classic Mode"

Question

I know how to switch to "Classic Mode" (from "Integrated Mode") in the full IIS via application pool settings. But I can't find how to do it in the current IIS Developer Express beta.

The MS Developer Express FAQ says it can be done, but not how. It's not in the WebMatrix GUI, as far as I can tell. Maybe customization of the Developer Express project file, but I don't see any documentation for that at all.

FYI, there is a Settings area where you can set SSL, CLR version (2.0 in this case), which is where I figure the Pipeline mode (Classic/Integrated) would be, but it's not there.

Answer 1

Using appcmd is not needed, it is best to change this in the project's settings:

1. Click on the web project in the solution explorer
2. Press F4 to get the properties page to show up (not the properties sheet, but the simpler properties window where you set up general things)
3. Look for 'Managed Pipeline Mode', change this to 'Classic'
