I am looking for a way to programatically change the .net version of the
virtual directory that I am creating within a aspx page.
As part of creating a new customer in my asp.net 2 application, it
automatically creates a virtual directory and configures it. I am using the
DirectoryServic es.DirectoryEnt ry class in C# to do this. I am unable to set
the .Net version of the virtual directory from 1.1 to version 2. All searches
led me to the aspnet_regiis.e xe. I tried 2 different solutions:-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Call aspnet_regiis.e xe -s W3SVC/1/root/vdirname from my aspx page after
creating the virtual directory. It fails because the process is running as
'NETWORK SERVICE' user who does not have enough permission to do these. When
I changed the identity of the Application Pool from 'Network Service' to
'Local System', I could run successfully change the version using
aspnet_regiis.e xe
//Code in aspx page
string strFrameworkVer sion =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["frameworkVersi on"];
string winPath = Environment.Get EnvironmentVari able("windir");
string fullPath = winPath + @"\Microsoft.NE T\Framework\v" +
strFrameworkVer sion + @"\aspnet_regii s.exe";
string args = " -s " + "W3SVC/1/root/" + nameDirectory;
ProcessStartInf o startInfo = new ProcessStartInf o(fullPath);
startInfo.Windo wStyle = ProcessWindowSt yle.Hidden;
startInfo.UseSh ellExecute = false;
startInfo.Redir ectStandardOutp ut = true;
startInfo.Redir ectStandardErro r = true;
System.Diagnost ics.Process process = new System.Diagnost ics.Process();
startInfo.Argum ents = args;
process.StartIn fo = startInfo;
process.Start() ;
process.WaitFor Exit();
---------------------------------------------------------------
2. I tried to modify the scriptmap programatically to match what
aspnet_regiis.e xe does, i.e. changes the path to the right version of .NET.
But that made no difference. In fact, after running this code, the virtual
directory had no version of .NET selected.
PropertyValueCo llection vals = siteVDir.Proper ties["ScriptMaps "];
ArrayList objScriptMaps = new ArrayList();
string frameworkVersio n =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["frameworkVersi on"];
foreach (string val in vals)
{
if (val.Contains(" Framework"))
{
string version = val.Substring(v al.IndexOf("Fra mework")
+ 10, 9);
if(version != frameworkVersio n)
{
objScriptMaps.A dd( val.Replace(ver sion,
frameworkVersio n));
}
}
else
{
objScriptMaps.A dd(val);
}
}
siteVDir.Proper ties["ScriptMaps "].Value =
objScriptMaps.T oArray();
siteVDir.Commit Changes();
------------------------------------------
What is the most appropriate way to change the .NET version of the created
virtual directory, programatically from within as aspx page?

Thanks for the response, but I need to do this programatically from withing
my aspx page. This tool internally uses aspnet_regiis, and I have explained
the problem of using it in my first post.

Thanks Rakesh
Hi Rak,
I think using external command utility to do the work is reasonable because
the ASP.NET version setting in IIS application vdir (or site) is a purely
IIS metabase setting. Also, perform such configuration will definitely
require powerful permission. And since you're going to execute the command
in ASP.NET application, I would suggest you consider using intergrated
windows authentication in IIS, and configure your ASP.NET application to
use windows authentication. And create an Admin-Page which let admin users
to visit. Thus, we can impersonate the client-user and spawn new process to
execute command under the impersonated user...
#How to implement impersonation in an ASP.NET application http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306158
#How to spawn a process that runs under the context of the impersonated
user in Microsoft ASP.NET pages http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889251
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response Steve. Based on the responses I received, I gather
that aspnet_regiis is the only way to change the .NET version on IIS virtual
directory. It cannot be set using System.Director yServices.Direc toryEntry or
something similar.
Thanks
Rakesh
Hi Rakesh,
Actually, the ASP.NET version setting is the script extension mappings in
the IIS's site or virtual directory(appli cation). You can check them in
the IIS manager, in the "Home Directory" Tab, click the "configurat ion"
button.......
And the aspnet_regiis.e xe tool actually programmaticall y change the script
mappings internally(for all the extensions need to be processed by asp.net
, such as aspx, ascx , asax ......). Generally we won't consider manually
setting script mapping one by one, however, if necessary, you can still use
some scripts or .NET/ native code to set script mapping through ADSI
interface. Here is a web article which has mentioned this:
#Switching Versions of the ASP.Net Framework http://aspalliance.com/306
Hope this also helps.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for the response. The link you suggested in your response was doing
exactly what I tried as option 2. So I went back to my option 2 and
discovered a bug that was preventing the change in .Net Version. I was
deleting the character 'v' before the version number, and hence the directory
path became invalid.
So by changing the script map programatically , I can now successfully change
..NET version. And this method even works on remote IIS.
Thanks a lot for you help.
Rakesh
Just in case anyone is looking for the solution, here it is
PropertyValueCo llection scriptMapVals = siteVDir.Proper ties["ScriptMaps "];
ArrayList objScriptMaps = new ArrayList();
string frameworkVersio n =
ConfigurationMa nager.AppSettin gs["frameworkVersi on"];
Regex versionRegex = new Regex(@"(?<=\\v )\d{1}\.\d{1}\. \d{1,5}(?=\\)") ;
//Assuming the version will always be something like n.n.nnnnn
foreach (string scriptMapVal in scriptMapVals)
{
if (scriptMapVal.C ontains("Framew ork"))
{
objScriptMaps.A dd(versionRegex .Replace(script MapVal, frameworkVersio n));
}
else
{
objScriptMaps.A dd(scriptMapVal );
}
}
siteVDir.Proper ties["ScriptMaps "].Value = objScriptMaps.T oArray();
siteVDir.Commit Changes();

The problem:
Let's say I have a web application appA. Locally, I set it up as
C:\domains\appA. Locally, my IIS root points to C:\domains. I don't
point it to C:\domains\appA since if I have an appB under C:\domains I
wouldn't be able to get to it. So to access it via my browser I go to
