VS.Php 2.7 Silverlight integration
One of the most exciting new features is Silverlight integration. With VS.Php 2.7, you can develop Silverlight applications and host them in your server side PHP application. VS.Php makes it easy to develop, debug and deploy these types of applications.
With VS.Php 2.7, you can easily debug your server side native PHP application and your client side Silverlight application within a single debugging session. Silverlight and PHP can interact using a number of standard technologies like REST, SOAP and JSON.
Improved IIS7 and IIS7.5
In VS.Php 2.6, we introduced some basic functionality with IIS. In this release we have added some powerful functionality to enable you to configure your project on IIS with great flexibility.
The new configuration wizard lets you choose the name of the virtual directory for your project. It also lets you select the virtual host in IIS, in case your IIS server has more than one host.
It also lets you reuse existing FastCGI application pools or create your new one to allow you to have custom php configuration.
