Am Trying to get List of Websites hosted on IIS. But am getting Exception

COMException was unhandled. Access is denied.

CODE:

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           foreach (WebSites site in GetSites("IIS://localhost/W3SVC"))
           {
               Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(site.Name, ",", site.Identity, ",", site.Status, ",", site.PhysicalPath));
           }
       }
       static IEnumerable<WebSites> GetSites(String path)
       {
           DirectoryEntry IIsEntities = new DirectoryEntry(path);
           foreach (DirectoryEntry IIsEntity in IIsEntities.Children)
           {
               if (IIsEntity.SchemaClassName == "llsWebServer")
               {
                   yield return new WebSites
                       (
                       Convert.ToInt32(IIsEntity.Name),
                       IIsEntity.Properties["ServerComment"].Value.ToString(),
                       GetPath(IIsEntity),
                       (ServerState)IIsEntity.Properties["ServerState"].Value
                       );
               }
           }
       }
       static String GetPath(DirectoryEntry IIsWebServer)
       {
           foreach (DirectoryEntry IIsEntity in IIsWebServer.Children)
           {
               if (IIsEntity.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebVirtualDir")
                   return IIsEntity.Properties["path"].Value.ToString();
           }
           return null;

       }

   }

You not not have the credentials to access it apparently.

sam.198979 21-May-13 11:25am

Then do i need any permissions.

Maybe not, when debugging, where does the application stop at?

foreach (DirectoryEntry IIsEntity in IIsEntities.Children)

I found an example that was claimed to be working. It returns a bool so you will need change that to a string, but the method of getting the sites should be intact. Of course the path will be your own as well.

Still and getting same Exception.

Maybe it is a credentials issue. Have you talked to the Network Admin about it?

I found this example that was claimed to be working:

try
{
  DirectoryEntry iis = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/w3svc");
  foreach(DirectoryEntry site in iis.Children)
  {
    if(site.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebServer")
    {
      if(domain.Equals(site.Properties["ServerComment"].Value.ToString()))
      {
        return //your value here;
      }
    }
  }
}
catch(Exception e)
{
      ...
}
