I have written a custom VirtualPathProvider for ASP.NET MVC 2 that searches assemblies for views and static content so that I can reuse content in multiple sites. It works just fine while using Cassini, but when I deploy the site to a server running IIS 7, static files are just returning a 404 and not even getting routed through the AssemblyPathProvider (the class I wrote). Does anyone know how to force IIS to work the same as Cassini in this regard?

A better approach is to use IIS during development for these scenarios. – Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi Nov 11 '10 at 02:27

IIS and Cassini are definately two different beasts. I would agree with @Sayed in that you should try to opt to use IIS, especially since your production server is running IIS.
In that regard, I would further recommend that you use IIS Express for development. It is lightweight, and doesn't require admin privileged on your machine. It also behaves like IIS because it is IIS.
