You can use the ASP.NET Registration setting on the Application settings of the Internet Information Services view to specify whether to perform recursive or non-recursive ASP.NET registration. Using this feature enables you to install both ASP.NET applications and ASP.NET Core applications to the same website.

To specify the ASP.NET registration for an application in your project:

1.

In the View List under Server Configuration, click Internet Information Services.

2.

In the Web Sites explorer, select the application whose ASP.NET registration you want to specify. The settings for the application are displayed on the right.

3.

For the ASP.NET Registration setting, select one of the following options:

•

Recursive—Updates script maps and application-pool assignments for the specified application and for all sub-applications.

•

Non Recursive—Updates script maps and application-pool assignments for only the specific application. No sub-applications are changed.
