will a 32-bit web application run as WOW64 on a 64-bit server?

I need to know if a web application deployed in a 64-bit server runs as a WOW64 process or a 64-bit process if the web application's pages are compiled as PE 32/x86 ?

I mean I have read a lot about normal console applications or executables with PE 32/x86 run as WOW64 on 64-bit servers. But what about web applications( all i can compile is the pages which are dlls)? The only process I can think of is w3wp.exe for web apps. Please explain. I am confused.

Thanks in advance

  • Could you simply generate a test application, deploy it on you server and then use Process Explorer to check the details?
