The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, 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 that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create an ISAPI Wizard project.
2. On step 1 of 1, enter a MBCS string into the Filter Class Name and Extension
Class Name edit boxes.
3. 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.
