Question

I have a method that creates a virtual directory. How can I set the .NET Framework to version 2 while I create the virtual directory?

My method looks like this so far:

private static void CreateVDir(string metabasePath, string vDirName, string physicalPath) {     //  metabasePath is of the form 'IIS://<servername>/<service>/<siteID>/Root[/<vdir>]'     //    for example 'IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root'.     //  vDirName is of the form '<name>', for example, 'MyNewVDir'.     //  physicalPath is of the form '<drive>:\<path>', for example, 'C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot'.     Console.WriteLine('\nCreating virtual directory {0}/{1}, mapping the Root application to {2}:',                       metabasePath, vDirName, physicalPath);      DirectoryEntry site = new DirectoryEntry(metabasePath);     string className = site.SchemaClassName;     if ((className.EndsWith('Server')) || (className.EndsWith('VirtualDir')))     {         DirectoryEntries vdirs = site.Children;         DirectoryEntry newVDir = vdirs.Add(vDirName, (className.Replace('Service', 'VirtualDir')));         newVDir.Properties['Path'][0] = physicalPath;         newVDir.Properties['AccessScript'][0] = true;         // These properties are necessary for an application to be created.         newVDir.Properties['AppFriendlyName'][0] = vDirName;         newVDir.Properties['AppIsolated'][0] = '1';         newVDir.Properties['AppRoot'][0] =             '/LM' +            metabasePath.Substring(metabasePath.IndexOf('/', ('IIS://'.Length)));         newVDir.CommitChanges();         Console.WriteLine(' Done.');     }     else         Console.WriteLine(             ' Failed. A virtual directory can only be created in a site or virtual directory node.'); }

The ‘ScriptMaps’ property is where the configuration mappings get stored. That is, that’s where you can map *.aspx files to get processed by ASP.NET. An example is in Creating ISAPI Mappings Programmatically.
