BlueDragon 7.0.1 for the Microsoft .NET Framework (commonly referred to as BlueDragon.NET) allows CFML applications to be deployed on Windows servers running the Microsoft .NET Framework, the Microsoft IIS web server, and ASP.NET. The Microsoft .NET Framework is built-in to Windows 2008 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 2003 Server; and, can be installed onto Windows 2000 and Windows XP. While most web applications on .NET are built with ASP.NET and other components of the .NET framework, BlueDragon makes it possible for the .NET Framework to also process CFML applications. Indeed, BlueDragon.NET is the only way to run CFML on the .NET Framework.

BlueDragon.NET is about empowering CFML to integrate with your organization’s .NET development and take full advantage of the enterprise features of this strategic platform

This document describes how to install BlueDragon.NET and run CFML applications via the Microsoft IIS web server and the .NET framework, without requiring the installation of proprietary Adobe ColdFusion server software. See section 6 for details on the technical underpinnings of how BlueDragon.NET is implemented. This document also offers a brief overview of the .NET Framework. More importantly, it explains the many benefits of .NET deployment for CFML developers. It discusses the many forms of integration that are possible between CFML pages and native .NET components, including ASP.NET pages. Section 3 discusses these many benefits, and the details and code examples of integrating CFML and ASP.NET are detailed in a separate document, Integrating CFML with ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
