Progmatically create a Virtual Directory in .NET

[Rob]

Does anyone know how to progmatically create a new Virtual Directory, or web application root?

This is driving me nutz!

(I know you can do it in IIS, and front-page and other tools, but this has gotta be done in .NET!)

Create a Virtual Directory and Edit its Properties in IIS using C#

or:

Code: Select all

public static void CreateVDir(string sPhysicalPath, string sVirDirName)
{
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry oDE;
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries oDC;
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry oVirDir;
string sIISPath;

try
{
sIISPath = "IIS://" + _sHost + "/W3SVC/" + _sServer + "/Root";
oDE = new DirectoryEntry(sIISPath);
oDC = oDE.Children; 
oVirDir = oDC.Add(sVirDirName,oDE.SchemaClassName.ToString()); 
oVirDir.CommitChanges(); 

oVirDir.Properties["Path].Value = sPhysicalPath; 
oVirDir.Properties["AccessRead][0] = true;
oVirDir.Invoke("AppCreate",true); 
oVirDir.Properties["AppFriendlyName][0] = sVirDirName;

oVirDir.CommitChanges(); 
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
throw new Exception(exc.Message); 
}
}
