ASP AJAX and IIS7 | Security Thinking Cap

I have been struggling with some ASP AJAX code.┬á I moved the site from Server 2003 32-bit IIS6 to IIS7 on Server 2008 64-bit.┬á After a lot of searching and banging my head against the wall I found a blog on MSDN that told me how to add a binding redirect to my web config file so that the code would use the AJAX built into .NET 3.5.┬á Here it is.┬á

┬á┬á┬á <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á <dependentAssembly>

┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>

┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>

┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á </dependentAssembly>

┬á┬á┬á </assemblyBinding>

┬á </runtime>
