How do I programatically add a wildcard filter for IIS?

Question

I'm going to use System.DirectoryServices to programatically add a wildcard filter for IIS (Version 5.0 and IIS 6.0).

Anyone have some food for thought? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

All you need to do is add the wild card to the metabase ScriptMap property of the site:

For example:

using (DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://Localhost/W3SVC/2/ROOT"))
{
    de.Properties["ScriptMaps"].Add(
        @"*,c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll,0,GET,HEAD,POST");
    de.CommitChanges();
}

The example above maps the ASP.NET 2.0 ISAPI filter as the wild card filter.
