Visual Studio Development Server With ISAPI Filter


I'm currently trying to develop on my local machine a website that uses an ISAPI filter. Is it possible to configure the Visual Studio Development Server to use an ISAPI filter? I've tried adding the filter to my local IIS7, but that didn't do anything.

Setup: I'm running Visual Web Developer Express 2010 on windows 7 using the .Net 4 Framework. The ISAPI filter is xqasp in case that helps.


Solution

  • No, The local development server is quite limited. Host the site in your local IIS instead and then you can use the ISAPI filter there and it should work as expected.

    Just create a new virtual directory in IIS and point it to your project directory.
