how to set IIS that it does not cache files??

Hi there,

I am currently building an ISAPI application. Therefor I need to stop the
IIS, compile my dll and restart the server again. I read that setting the
IIS such that it does not cache ISAPI Applications, would help. But how can
this be done??

Thanks,

Pascal

Pascal,

From the IIS6 online help :

Caching ISAPI extensions
ISAPI DLLs can be loaded and cached so that additional requests can be
processed without calling them again. Otherwise, the DLLs are unloaded
after they are run. Caching reduces the time a user waits for a DLL to
load, and most ISAPI extensions benefit from caching. You should clear
this option only for special circumstances, such as debugging ISAPI
extensions.

To enable caching

In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, and then click the
starting-point directory of the application you want.
Right-click the directory, and then click Properties.
Click the appropriate tab: Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or
Directory.
In the Application settings area, click Configuration, and then click
the Mappings tab.
On the Mappings tab, select the Cache ISAPI extensions check box.
