Taking your ASP.NET 2.0 site offline

Provided by the FMS Development Team

Microsoft has provided an easy mechanism to take your ASP.NET 2.0 site offline to perform routine maintenance or updates to the database. By placing the file "App_Offline.htm" in the application's root directory, ASP.NET 2.0 will shut down the application and stop processing any new incoming requests. ASP.NET 2.0 will then send back to the user the contents of the .htm document. Use the .htm to provide user-friendly feedback on the status of your site.

Thank you! Thank you! I just finished reading this document, which was part of a link in the recent Buzz newsletter. I have printed it for others to read, especially those skeptical on the powers of Access and its capabilities.
