I wrote a custom http module for a website in c# .NET. If i deploy the website to IIS I can add the module through the ‘modules’ section by picking the ‘add managed module’ option if I am looking at just the website level of IIS. However, I want to add this module to the whole server so that I can select it from the dropdown in ‘add managed module’ at the server level. I’ve looked around and It looks like I might need to install the assembly that contains my module to the GAC (we are in .net 3.5). This causes a lot of problems because we only have an app_code folder in this project and no AssemblyInfo.cs file so I can’t figure out how to give the app_code.dll assembly a strong name. Furthermore, it seems like a bad idea to add the app_code dll to the GAC. So…

1) How can I add my module to the server level of IIS?
2) Can you help me figure out how to get the module registered in the GAC?

Thanks!

    Separate the module from the web application. You’ll need to move the module code into it’s own project so that you can compile it as a DLL that you’ll then strongname.
