SUMMARY
=======

This article provides information about profiling an ISAPI DLL. This information
is not available in Microsoft Source Profiler documentation.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Use the following steps to profile an ISAPI DLL:

1. Build your DLL. Enable profiling and generation of a map file on the linker
  options.

2. Run this command on your ISAPI DLL:

  prep /om /ft <yourDLL>.dll

3. This generates a file called <yourDLL>._ll. Rename your original DLL to
  something else and then rename the ._ll file to <yourDLL>.dll.

4. Copy this profiling version of your ISAPI dll and profile.dll to the
  directory where they will be run on your IIS server.

5. Copy the following files from the \Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin directory
  to where they will be run on your IIS server:

  Profile.EXE, Profile.DLL, Profile.Ini.

6. Set the __ProfileBPI and __ProfilePBO environment variables as per the
  instructions in the Knowledge Base article:

  Q117681 Profiling Windows NT Services

7. Stop and restart IIS (to ensure that the environment variables are valid for
  Inetinfo.exe while it is running) and then run whatever processes you are
  going to use to exercise the code in your ISAPI DLL.

  NOTE: To stop IIS 4.0, issue this command: net stop iisadmin /y To start Web
  Publishing Service again, use: net start w3svc.

8. Stop IIS and run these commands in the directory where the PBI and PBO files
  are located:

  prep /m <yourDLL>
  plist <yourDLL>

  NOTE: Do not add the .DLL extension onto these last two commands. Errors are
  generated if .DLL extension is added.
