Samples

  • Article

There are three main ways to create dynamic content on your Web server: through Active Server Pages (ASP) pages, Component Object Model (COM) components, and Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) filters and extensions. There are two main ways to manage the content and configuration settings on your Web server: through IIS Manager graphical user interface (GUI), or programmatically using scripts and COM components.

In this section of the documentation are descriptions of IIS code samples for ASP pages, COM components, ISAPI filters and extensions, and programmatic administration scripts. IIS samples are included in the IIS Software Developer Kit (SDK). You can download the IIS SDK from Platform SDK Update. You can view the SDK at MSDN Online. In the table of contents at MSDN Online, click Web Development, Server Technologies, Internet Information Services (IIS), SDK Documentation, Internet Information Services, Samples.

The samples are organized into the following sections:
