Auto-Start ASP.NET Applications

As mentioned here. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/09/15/auto-start-asp-net-applications-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx

Is there another way to do this? By just modifying the application's web.config file?

AutoStart is a feature of the web server and not the application and works only with IIS 7.5 (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2). Another possibility is to setup a startup script that will send an HTTP request to the application in order to start it.
