Here we answer specific questions which members face during programming.

We can't work on the whole source code. You need to do that yourself.

If you face any difficulty while coding, feel free to come back here and ask another question with specific issue describing the scenario. Members will be happy to help you then.

Check Restarting (Recycling) an Application Pool. You will get some idea. Else you can search in Google.

You need to take reference of System.DirectoryService. Then use the following code

C#

 string appPoolPath = "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/AppPools/myapppool";
//localhost will be actual server name.
            var appPool = new DirectoryEntry(appPoolPath);
            appPool.Invoke("Start", null);
            appPool.Invoke("Stop", null);
            appPool.Invoke("Recycle", null);

Just remember that administrative permission is needed to execute this code.
