Auto-Deploy on IIS from Github?

Question

I found a way using a .php page to auto deploy, quick and dirty, using a Post-Receive URL. So you put the following into a page on your site:

<?php `git pull`; ?>

Put that page's URL into GiHub and bang, auto deploy. Works great. Is there something similar or equivalent for .ASP? I have a site running on IIS 6.0 and it would be great to do an ASP equivalent.

I through about installing PHP on the IIS server, seems like a waste for just a sigle page and would open me up to PHP security and patching issue. Rather just use some .ASP code.

Could find what I need via Google, GitHub:Gists, or iis.net.

Thanks!

I don't know much about PHP, except it's a scripting language. But ASP.NET projects need to be built. Anyway, you can simplify the processes by using Paas platforms such as AppHarbor (or Azure, as Kelly mentioned).
