Question

I see that there is a nice library Microsoft.Web.Administration that allows you to configure IIS 7. It appears that Microsoft.Web.Administration doesn’t work for IIS6, so I am trying to see if someone can provide some alternative suggestions.

I am building a Windows Form Application that will allow you to implement all the properties required to configure (Website, Virtual directories, Application pools…etc).

Answer 1

To configure IIS6 you will have to revert to the System.Directory services.

string iisPath = "IIS://localhost/W3svc/1/Root";
DirectoryEntry IISRootEntry = new DirectoryEntry(iisPath);

and take it from there.

Hope this helps,
