DiscountASP.NET, a Windows Hosting provider, today announced the integration of Microsoft Web Application Gallery into its hosting control panel providing its Windows 2008 hosting customers with single click installation of many free packaged ASP.NET applications.

The company explains that Microsoft introduced the Web Application Gallery within their Web Platform Installer 2.0, providing a place for users to explore and discover popular applications along with the ability to easily install applications.

"We are proud to integrate the application gallery into our control panel featuring pre-filtered ASP.NET applications that we've tested and confirmed to run on our Windows hosting platform."

"It's great to see DiscountASP.NET integrating the Web Application Gallery into their control panel," said Mai-lan Tomsen Bukovec, Product Unit Manager for IIS. "Microsoft engages closely with open source community developers to simplify the deployment of top community apps on Windows, and we are excited to see DiscountASP.NET leveraging that investment to benefit their customers."
