Visual Studio Web Server and FavIcons

A very quick one.  The inbuilt web server that comes with visual studio the Visual Studio Development Server or ‘Cassini’ does not support favicons.

So we now have a policy that all visual studio web development must use IIS to debug rather than the Cassini server.  Incidentally this gives us control of the application pool identity which is very useful when testing database security and reduces, by one, the number of significant differences between the development and production environments.
