How does IIS process an ASP.NET request?

If the response is not cached, Inetinfo.exe or DLLHost.exe processes the request, evaluating the URL to determine if the request is for static content (HTML), or dynamic content (ASP, ASP.NET or ISAPI). The response is sent back to the client and the request is logged, if IIS is configured to do so.

What is the process for IIS?

An IIS Worker Process (w3wp.exe) handles the web requests sent to the IIS web server for the configured IIS application pool. IIS application pools also provide a bunch of advanced settings. These impact the behavior of w3wp and your IIS worker process.

How do I know if ASP.NET is installed in IIS?

Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. On the left pane, expand the entry for Local Computer and click Web Service Extensions. Check that there is an item called ASP.NET v2. 0.50727 and that its status reads Allowed .

It should be w3wp.exe

EDIT: In line with Darren's comment, you should also check the "Show processes from all users" in Task Manager if that is where you are looking for the process.

Just to add something here, process explorer comes in handy when trying to track down a process: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Beats task manager hands down and can be substituted.
