Does anyone know how to ...

Unload Web services with vb code?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Unload Web services"....

You mean actually starting and stopping a web service? Could this be done through the command prompt? If so, use the Shell command in VB and issue your commands there.

-mcd

:confused:

What do you mean?

Something like this?

Code:

---

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'
' Usage: stopweb <--ADSPath|-a server1[,server2,server3...]>
' [--computer|-c COMPUTER1[,COMPUTER2...]]
' [--verbose|-v]
' [--help|-?]
'
' SERVERx Web Server # to be stopped
'
' Example 1: stopweb --a 3,1
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Force explicit declaration of all variables.
Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next

End Sub

End Sub
