Set IIS Website Properties

FinalBuilder Discussion

Any suggestions on how to automate the setting of web site properties within IIS 6?  Things like "application pool" and "default content page"?  I can create an IIS 6 Website just fine, and I can create a IIS 6 Application pool, but I can't figure out how to set the application pool for the newly created website.

Hi Jason,

Not possible in the current version, we’re updating the actions now and will have a new test build available soon.

Great.  Looking forward to trying it out.

In the interim I created a console app and used the Execute Action to automate the setting of properties.  For those of you out that there that are trying to figure this out, here is a C# snippet to set a wildcard script map. a simple property setter and a method for displaying all the current properties.

namespace SetIISWebProperties
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.DirectoryServices;

        public class IisWebSite
        {
            private readonly DirectoryEntry _website;
            private readonly DirectoryEntry _webdir;

            public IisWebSite(DirectoryEntry de)
            {
                _website = de;
                _webdir = new DirectoryEntry(_website.Path + "/ROOT");
            }

            public void DisplayAllProperties()
            {
                foreach (PropertyValueCollection pvc in _website.Properties)
                {
                    var name = pvc.PropertyName;
                    var value = pvc.Value;
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", name, value);
                }
            }

            public void SetProperty(string propertyName, string value)
            {
                _website.InvokeSet(propertyName, value);
                _website.CommitChanges();
            }

            public bool AddWildCardScriptMap()
            {
                var scriptMapPvc = _webdir.Properties["ScriptMaps"];

                // verify script map doesn't exist (only add if it does not exist)
                foreach (string scriptMapProperty in scriptMapPvc)
                {
                    var scriptMapValues = scriptMapProperty.Split(',');
                    if (scriptMapValues[0].ToLower() == "*")
                    {
                        return false;
                    }
                }

                // if we got here, add the wildcard script map with the specified value
                scriptMapPvc.Add(@"*,c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll,0,All");
                _webdir.CommitChanges();

                return true;
            }

     }

}

 

Automating System.DirectoryServices is the key.

I’m still running an eval copy … can I install this version without affecting the remaining days on the eval?

This version you posted for Jason, does it support TFS 2010?
