The Code Project – Do far more work than you have to.

The Code Project – New Multisite DLL Or How to develop .NET project in a Root – ASP.NET

I’m missing something here. How is the technique in this article any better than using Host Headers in IIS 5.0+ to host multiple web sites on a single box?.

I’ve been subscribed to the Code Project feeds for a while now, but they have some articles every now and then and make me shake my head in disbelief.

This just seems like a lot more work than is needed for little benefit. I’m not into that. See the title of this weblog for further clarification.

    I came across a great article on there where the author set out exactly what topics he was going to cover.
    And then you get to the end and discover that he ran out of time to cover them all, but he helpfully left a note to say that maybe he’d come back and finish it off in the future.
    Talk about pointless…

    XP Pro doesn’t let you host multiple websites on one machine. Multisite is supposed to be a workaround for developers.

    You mean it won’t let you host multiple domains on a machine? Why would you use XP Pro for web hosting? Why would you do your development and debugging on live sites? If you aren’t doing dev and debug on live sites, why is the multi-hosting important? Why not just put them in their own directories off the root and mark them as applications?
