During development, I suggest you use IIS Express to host your ISAPI filter and test web apps there. Much easier to debug by attaching to iisexpress.exe,

You can even use some scripts to enable unit testing and performance testing.

Hi,

You could configure custom ISAPI filter in iis by following below steps:

1)Open iis manager

2)Double-click ISAPI filter.

3)Click Add in the Actions pane. You see the Add ISAPI Filter dialog box.

4)Type the name of the ISAPI filter in the Filter Name field. Provide a location for the executable (either a DLL or EXE file) in the Executable field. You can also use the Browse button to locate the executable file on disk.

Note: Make sure that you choose the correct ISAPI filter executable. IIS doesn't perform any checking on the ISAPI filter when you install it. The executable you choose could literally contain any information.

5)Click OK to complete the process.

6)Restart the Web server or Web site to ensure that the new ISAPI filter is configured.

in visual studio attach the process and check you have searched for native code and attaching the correct process.
