So I was cleaning out my desk and found something that I would have blogged about
had I had a blog when it happened 🙂

People tend to think of me as a BizTalk guy – but before that I was really an ASP
and then ASP.NET guy.  On one of the early ASP.NET mailing lists Scott
Guthrie
challenged us to write an application that hosted ASP.NET outside of IIS
(this of course if now all documented – but it wasn’t at the time).  I was the
first (or one of the first) people to do this (the only thing I remember is having
to use PInvoke and LoadLibrary to load the aspnet_isapi.dll into the process for stuff
to work) and he sent me a hat (which I still have somewhere) and a signed .NET Framework
CD.  Fun days.

Also funny that my next post will likely be able hosting ASP.NET outside of IIS.
