When you’re running a component within ASP.NET, what process is it running within on Windows XP? Windows 2000? Windows 2003?

Purpose:

• There was a time where the gold standard for deployment was IIS. This tests whether a developer has a working understanding of the thread model of IIS. This is important for security management and also debugging and performance tuning.
• It shows that a developer has at least worked with deploying websites in a windows ecosystem.

Potential Answer:
The component is assigned to an application pool that runs on a worker process For IIS 5 - That ships with XP and 2000 - it is the ASPnet_wp.exe which is called the ASP worker process. For IIS 6 & IIS 7 - Which is 2003 and up - IIS 7 with Server 2008, the process to look out for is W3WP.exe
