Re: CSS won't work in IIS7/.NET

Yes, you need to enable serving Static Content if you want .CSS files
(or any other text file, for that matter) to be retrieved from IIS.

It is checked by default.

The IIS log files as well as FailedRequestTracing would also help in
tracking down this misconfiguration, though it assumes a little prior
knowledge of what is expected.

The problem I am having is with the CSS files that are located in the Master
Page. The application runs fine but there is no formating and no images on
any pages.

What does IIS7 do differently with CSS files?

Web servers should not do anything with CSS files other than serve
them. That is what IIS7 does by default, so if it does not, then it is
due to user misconfiguration.

Can you look at the IIS Log files for the log entries related to your
web application serving images/CSS and report them here.
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Logs\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log
