Creating a suimple virtual directory with default rights

[Microsoft]

I have a web site called www.test.com

I have a folder under the wwwroot called \testfolder\

How do I turn \testfolder\ into a virtual directory.

I don't need rights and settings, I've figured that part out, I just get
lost setting up the "System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry" and then
executing the childern.add()

You have to query IIS in order to determine the server instance for the default web site. Here is
some simple VB code to do this:

Function FindInstanceIDForSite() As Integer

Dim intServerID As Integer
Dim objIIS As Object

On Error Resume Next

For intServerID = 1 To 512
Set objIIS = GetObject("IIS://Localhost/w3svc/" & intServerID)
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
FindInstanceIDForSite = intServerID
MsgBox objIIS.ServerComment
Exit Function
End If
Next

FindInstanceIDForSite = 0

End Function
