IScriptMapInfo::GetName Method

Article
05/24/2022

Retrieves the configured name for a request handler.

Syntax

virtual PCWSTR GetName(  
   VOID  
) const = 0;

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Value

A pointer to a string that contains the name of the request handler.

Remarks

The GetName method retrieves the name attribute for a request handler that is located in the <handlers> section of the ApplicationHost.config file. This attribute contains the display name for the request handler as it will appear in the list of handlers that are defined in IIS Manager.

Note

Do not confuse GetName with the IScriptMapInfo::GetPath or IScriptMapInfo::GetScriptProcessor methods, which return the path and scriptProcessor attributes, respectively, for the request handler.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use the IHttpContext::GetScriptMap method to create an HTTP module that retrieves a pointer to an IScriptMapInfo interface. The example then uses the GetName method to retrieve the configured name for the request handler that is processing the current request. The module returns the configured name to a Web client and then exits.

Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Request-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.

You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
