Answer 1

IIS API only standardizes access to IIS XML configuration, which ASP.NET Core module or HttpPlatformHandler v2 relies on https://github.com/lextudio/httpplatformhandlerv2/blob/httpplatformhandler_v8.0.3-rc.2/src/Servers/IIS/AspNetCoreModuleV2/IISLib/ahutil.h

If you can follow the same convention to define parameters of your module, then you use the same code.

If you, however, want to use your own config file, .txt or .ini, then this question has little to do with IIS, but general Windows C/C++ programming. You might use the standard C/C++ file IO API to read files at will, but of course pay attention to the actual user account that executes your code to ensure file access permissions are granted.

IIS Module does not have the function of reading files, a module is either a Win32 DLL (native module) or a . NET 2.0 type contained within an assembly (managed module). Similar to a set of building blocks, modules are added to the server in order to provide the desired functionality for your applications.

If you want to read config file, you can try to use code to read the config file, which is usually located in the %WinDir%\System32\Inetsrv\Config folder
