Question

I have the following defined in my web.config (

<rewriteMaps configSource="Rewrites.config"  />

I have a CONFIG file that can be regenerated by an administrator via a web page. However when this file changes then the new changes are not picked up until the application recycles.

My queestion is that I want to be able to recycle the application pool automatically when the file changes, is this possible? or is their a better approach?

Maybe the question should be is there another way for the rewrite maps to be dynamically used by the application?

I am using IIS7 in Integrated Mode running under Medium Trust.

Thanks
Richard

A hack way of recycling just your app pool is to add then delete a subfolder. This will trigger an app recycle.
