[RESOLVED] [2005] verifying IIS from vb.net

[vishalmarya]

using vb.net (.net 2.0) , how to verify if IIS is running ?

if i use :

"iisreset /status" at command line ( or through vb.net )

the following text is displayed.

Status for World Wide Web Publishing ( W3SVC ) : Running
Status for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) ( SMTPSVC ) : Running
Status for FTP Publishing ( MSFtpsvc ) : Running


I could redirect the command output to a file and read the file for the above mentioned text to verify the status, but is there a better way.

the above text is displayed from iis 5.1 , suppose iis 6 or 7 displays something else.

System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController sc = new System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("World Wide Web publishing");
 
            if (sc.Status == System.ServiceProcess.ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
            {
                //Your code
            }
 
// sc.Start() will start the service on the server
