How to kill ASP.NET Development Server or IIS Express

When working on a web project I need to kill all those instances of ASP.NET Development Server IIS Express. A simple and quick solution for this is a KillCassini extension for Visual Studio. Using a shortcut, Shift+Alt+K it stops all the instances of ASP.NET Development Server, also known as Cassini, and IIS Express as well.

Download from Visual Studio Extensions Gallery:

Wish I could have been known why it is called Cassini, kill in itself is understood.I haven't used this since a long but this extension works well and kills all the instances of the server.
