How do I list and create all IIS websites, folders in the websites and virtual web directories in C#

Question

I am trying to first list all the IIS websites and the folders/virtual web directories in each (in a tree view). Then after that I would like to allow the user to select any of the above nodes and create a new virtual web directory there. I can create a virtual web directory if I know the path I plan to use but I cannot get a list of the folders/virtual web directories in a website (I can get the website list).

Use System.DirectoryServices to get the web sites from the IIS. You can find similar discussion at the following URL
