IIsWebServer.St atus in c# using DirectoryEntry. Invoke?

Anyone know how to do this in C#?
It's pretty trivial in VB, but is being a PITA in C#. I can call the
Start/Stop methods w/o any problems, but I can't figure out how to read
the current status in C#?
Code looks like this:

DirectoryEntry obDirEntry = new DirectoryEntry
("IIS://localhost/W3svc/1");
obDirEntry.Invo ke("Stop", new object[] {});
// Stop is not a synchronous call, so you have to poll status

I've tried this:
object status = obDirEntry.Invo ke("Status", new object[] {});
object status = obDirEntry.Invo ke("Get", new object[] {"Status"});

The first technique fails w/ no such method.
The 2nd technique fails with a cryptic HRESULT of 0x80005006 which is
undefined when I try to look it up w/ the error lookup tool :-P

The MSDN documentation claims that "Status" is a method:

When I create a single LDAP ActiveDirectory user and use DirectoryEntry.Invoke("SetPassword"...), the user is created and the password is set with no problems.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
