Question

I need to know how I can detect the current application pool I am running under, so I can do a Recycle on it programmatically.

Does anyone know how to do this for IIS6?

My current code for recycling the app-pool is:

    /// <summary>     /// Recycle an application pool     /// </summary>     /// <param name='IIsApplicationPool'></param>     public static void RecycleAppPool(string IIsApplicationPool) {         ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(@'\\localhost\root\MicrosoftIISv2');         scope.Connect();         ManagementObject appPool = new ManagementObject(scope, new ManagementPath('IIsApplicationPool.Name='W3SVC/AppPools/' + IIsApplicationPool + '''), null);          appPool.InvokeMethod('Recycle', null, null);     }

And after searching I found the answer myself:

   public string GetAppPoolName() {          string AppPath = Context.Request.ServerVariables['APPL_MD_PATH'];          AppPath = AppPath.Replace('/LM/', 'IIS://localhost/');         DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry(AppPath);         if ((root == null)) {             return ' no object got';         }         string AppPoolId = (string)root.Properties['AppPoolId'].Value;         return AppPoolId;     } 

Hmm. They need a way to let me set my own answer as THE answer.
