How to access a IIS Web Site's folder from C#

[Brian Roisentul]

Hi all,

I've created a IIS Web Site from c# and now I want to make two of its
folders unreadable.

How do I do?

I've tried a lot of code posted on the internet but with no luck.

Any help will me appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Brian

Hillbilly,

Thanks for your answer, but I think I didn't express myself correctly.

What I want to do is to have an unreadable folder within an IIS
(Internet Information Services) Web Site programmatically.

So far, I'm able to create an IIS Web Site from C# using
System.DirectoryServices library, but I'm not able to access its
folders' permissions, to make some of them unreadable.

Do you understand my point?

Many Thanks,

Brian

Hi All,

I've been investigating a while and i figured out something pretty
weird:

I downloaded a source code that allows me to do what I want. 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?

Thanks,

In the end i think i have no option but using the Location and
Authorization tags within the web.config file of my application.

I'm testing it but it's not working.

Could you give me a hand on this, please?

Thanks,

Brian
