Name	A read-only string value that contains the name of a listener adapter. The key property.
ProtocolManagerDll	A read/write string value that specifies the name of the DLL where the listener adapter code is located. The string value may be either a fully qualified path or the short name of the DLL, and the DLL may be either managed or native code. If the DLL cannot be found on disk by using standard search procedures that depend on DLL type, the function specified in the ProtocolManagerDllInitFunction property is not called.

Remarks

Instances of this class are contained in the ListenerAdapters property of the ListenerAdaptersSection class.

Listener adapters are components that establish communication between non-HTTP protocol listeners and the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS). The World Wide Web Publishing Service (WWW service), which contains HTTP-specific functionality, does not use ListenerAdapterElement configuration settings.

Changes to ListenerAdapterElement take effect only when a listener adapter connects with WAS. In most cases, this connection requires that the server be restarted.
