Programmatic Site "Reset"

[Guest]

Hi. Is there a way to make a call in ASP.NET that will effectively do exactly
the same thing is when you "touch"/change the web.config file? In other
words, I want to be able to programmatically cause the same kind of general
resetting that happens when you touch the web.config file.

Touching global.asax will do an application restart,
and calling appdomain.unload will do it, too.

iisreset resets the whole IIS server.

You can also restart individual application pools.

Alex,
see this recent post for some sample code ideas:

Watch wrapping on that long url.

That's a great tip, Peter...

For VB fans...here's the equivalent VB.NET code :

Private Sub KillAspNetProcess()
Dim processName As String = "aspnet_wp"
Dim os As System.OperatingSystem = System.Environment.OSVersion
'Longhorn and Windows Server 2003 use w3wp.exe
If (((os.Version.Major = 5) AndAlso (os.Version.Minor > 1)) OrElse (os.Version.Major = 6)) Then
processName = "w3wp"
End If
For Each process As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName(processName)
Response.Write(("Killing ASP.NET worker process (Process ID:" + (process.Id + ")")))
process.Kill
Next
End Sub

Juan,
Thanks for the compliment but it wasn't even my idea. Can't remember where I
saw it. Maybe Jon Galloways' blog or something.
