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.Directo ryServices.Dire ctoryEntry" 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 FindInstanceIDF orSite() 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
FindInstanceIDF orSite = intServerID
MsgBox objIIS.ServerCo mment
Exit Function
End If
Next

FindInstanceIDF orSite = 0

End Function

Can't delete webapp after creating app_offline.htm

by: Sam777 | last post by:

I was under the impression that creating the app_offline.htm file at the root of the webapp would cause all handles to be closed so that the app could be removed. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. One handle remains open. Debugging shows that it's actually the IIS cache and not ASP.NET that owns this handle. During IIS shutdown, the handle is closed with the following stack trace: ChildEBP RetAddr 0006fbe4 5a403e05...

Annonymous access uses the account IUSR_JASMINE (machine name is Jasmine).
