has anyone else needed to restart IIS after adding extension?

After adding an extension to IIS5.1, I needed to restart IIS to get it to
recognize my new extension and hand it off to asp.net. Has anyone else
needed to do this? And why wouldn't this work with a reboot?

This same problem does not exist on IIS6 as I just copied over the web
project, added the new extension with the aspnet filter dll and I was good
to go. Why is IIS5.x different than IIS6 like that?

That's what I was afraid of. :< Oh well, I'll see what else I can find out
tonight. Thanks for your help! :>

Hi,

Yes, this is correct observation. You need to restart IIS 5.1 after you
have done this. Are you saying that it does not work if you "only" reboot
the computer, without manually restarting IIS? That should not be true,
because IIS will be restarted when the machine is restarted.

IIS 6.0 is very different than previous versions and does not need to be
restarted after this change.

Howdy Kristofer, thank you for your reply. You made me feel a bit better,
at least I don't feel so dumb anymore!

> Yes, this is correct observation. You need to restart IIS 5.1 after you
Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder why then all the web pages I'm
finding/searching don't say that? They must all be using iis6 then? But XP
comes with 5.1. Oh well, what can ya do?

Ya, it doesn't seem to do the samething on a reboot. I figured "only"
rebooting was more extreme than restarting IIS, but I can't explain why it
doesn't seem to want to work, but restarting IIS does. Is there anything
else that could be happening/changing when the restart from MMC happens that
a starting of the service doesn't do?

I know! I'm as perplexed as you are!

I've seen there to be at least two differences in IIS6 and IIS5.1.
Validators behave differently from when I'm doing dev and when I deploy the
app to my IIS box. :< I just read this morning, iis6 was a complete
rewrite, is that true? I guess that would explain why there are different
behaviours.

Thanks for your time! :>

It may not be a _complete_ rewrite, but much of it is rewritten.
