UpCase demonstrates a simple ISAPI filter which causes the text passed through it to be changed to upper-case.
Warning If you install this ISAPI filter on your server, make sure that you have configured IIS to restrict access to the virtual directory that contains the filter and the files you want to transmit. Also, set proper access control on the files in their physical folder. For more information, click Start, Help and Support, and search for Access Control.

When building the dll, C++ returns a permissions error. | Once you have called the dll from your web page, your system considers it a loaded dll. You must unload it to build it again, either by unloading the ASP application or deleting the dll from system32\dllcache. |
When browsing to the dll, IE gives you a permissions error. | The folder and virtual directory must have Execute permissions set on them. |
