ISAPI Filter in C# .NET 2.0

[Yet another C# coder]

Hi,

Does anyone know if in the next version of asp.net / C# (2.0)
Would be possible to write an ISAPI Filter in C#?

Thanx.

AFAIK, no. But, you can get the same functionality as an ISAPI filter by
using HttpModules and HttpHandlers, so I am not sure I see the need. What, in
particular, are you aiming at doing with an ISAPI filter that you cannot do
with built in .NET functionality?

A few links:
http://aspalliance.com/726 - shows how to embed resources to avoid handlers

http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=1eceb66c-3bd0-4cdd-87d5-3fa0f4742032 - sample project with a handler

http://www.15seconds.com/issue/030522.htm - aimed at 1.1, but you can use
this to get an idea of how a module is created

http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2473.aspx - note this gotcha if you drop
the code in your project app_code folder

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is more a feature of IIS than .Net.
There's talk about this for IIS 7.0, but everything's in early beta so it's
hard to tell.

You might want to check out:

for some details though.

native support of .net filters will be supported in IIS 7.0, which is still
some time away, as it requires the next version of the O/S (no 2003
support).
