Hello,
I have made a user control in asp.net c#. Becuase of some data I need to retrieve I would like to get the site id that is used for this site in iis. Is this possible, and if so, how?
Thanks!

A:
If it helps, one option here is to use the <location path="site-id">...</location> in the global web.config (i.e. the one in the framework folder) to specify different configuration options for different sites, such as different app-settings, connection-strings, etc.

@Marc: did you respond the the correct question? I can't make your answer fit this question.

Yes; in concept: rather than identify the site and code on the site name, *configure* the site and use values from configuration.

A:
This will give you the site ID:
Request.ServerVariables[ "INSTANCE_ID" ]
If you just need to get it once then you can lookup the log file path in the IIS MMC. The number after the "W3SVC" part is also the site id.
