IIS6 App Mappings Bug...

Im running Windows 2003, IIS 6 and attempting to create an application mapping to the aspnet_isapi.dll to handle every incoming request (*).

In IIS5 you simply needed to provide the "*" extension so I gave that a try in IIS6.  It fails, with the error "Wrong Extension format".  This is the same for *.*, and .*.  So I decided to hit the old Help button.  It indicates:

"Type the file name extension associated with your application (or type an asterix as a wildcard character)."

This a (known) bug?  Anyone have any fix?

Elvin first pointed this out to me.  Thanks!

NSBasic with C# Conduit...

If your working with NSBasic and trying to get a C# conduit reading UDT types out of the databases consider giving my Importer a test run.  You can download the library, sample Palm application, and conduit here:

Make sure you actually do read the Readme.txt file or you will probably be lost.  ;)

Send me some feedback on it!

My Desktop....

http://pnavy.com/royo/desktops/RobCartier

More Info:

Top right has a bunch of web services pulling data down on to my "desktop", winamp and calendar integration..some perfmon/system info, etc..All of this is Samurize (www.samurize.com -site is offline allot)

Along the bottom right, your typicaly systray, with the time (which doubles as a command prompt), and to the left of that is a web search tool (type in a query, auto launches browser and does custom search, etc...) - geoshell (www.geoshell.com)

Bottom (vertical bar) is something similar to a quick launch bar with the most recent apps I use..of course with a clipboard history tool, volume control, access to common folders, etc.. - geoshell

The horizontal bars next to that are all levels of "quick launchers" also, the expanded is a the secondary items which I use "most of the time" and the hidden items are sorted items which I use some of the time... - geoshell

The last and hidden bar on the top left contains stuff like controls to fade out all the controls, a quick-list-type control, some controls for auto-orgnaizing windows (min all, tile, restore, etc..)..and another control to handle switching between apps. - geoshell
