BUG: Multi-Byte Character Strings Cause ISAPI Wizard to Fail

ID: Q201090

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 5.0, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Using MBCS strings with the ISAPI Wizard causes build errors.

CAUSE

The ISAPI Wizard does not reject "high-ASCII" characters (characters with binary values of 128 or higher). This allows MBCS characters to be added to the class names, which fail during build.

RESOLUTION

Do not type MBCS characters in the ISAPI Wizard dialog box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create an ISAPI Wizard project.

On step 1 of 1, enter a MBCS string into the Filter Class Name and Extension Class Name edit boxes.

click Finish and build the project.

These steps cause the build to fail with errors because the edit boxes create the class names using the MBCS characters, and MBCS characters will not compile.

This is not a localization issue; the problem also occurs in the US version.
