Create folder programmatically under IIS Web Site

[Brian Roisentul]

Hi All,

I want to programmatically(c# fmw 2.0) create a folder under my IIS
Web Site. I figured that I needed to create an entry in the IIS
Metabase.

So, after investigating a while and i figured out something pretty
weird:

I downloaded a source code that allowed me to do what I wanted.
However, it's written in asp.net v1.0 and I needed in v2.0. So, I
converted it to that version.

Well, you all can imagine it must have worked, but you're wrong: it
didn't (i'm pretty sure is that because i tried: copying the
procedures and functions I needed to a asp.net v2.0 project. Then,
after the last try didn't work, I tried converting the entire solution
to v2.0 and it did it successfully).

I don't know why, but the v1.0 application is able to create the entry
at the metabase under my virtual directory(IIS://localhost/W3SVC/<web
site id>/root/<new dir's name>) but when I try to do the same using
the v2.0 app i get the following error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070003): The system
cannot find the path specified.

Do you have any clue on this?
