The SPWebService class is primarily a container for SPWebApplication objects. Use the WebService property of the SPWebApplication class to return the parent Web service of a Web application, and use the WebService property of the SPWebApplicationBuilder class to set the Web service for a new Web application. To return a reference to the current Web service, you can use SPWebService.ContentService.
To return the collection of Web services that are installed within the farm, use the SPWebServiceCollection constructor.
Use an indexer to return a single Web service from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myWebServices, use myWebServices[index] in C#, or myWebServices(index) in Visual Basic, where index is either the name or the GUID that identifies the Web service.
The following example iterates through all the Web services in a server farm and changes the maximum site count and warning site count of all the content databases used for each Web application.
Dim webServices As New SPWebServiceCollection(SPFarm.Local)
Dim webService As SPWebService
For Each webService In webServices
Dim webApp As SPWebApplication
For Each webApp In webService.WebApplications
If Not webApp.IsAdministrationWebApplication Then
Dim contentDatabases As SPContentDatabaseCollection = webApp.ContentDatabases
Dim database As SPContentDatabase
For Each database In contentDatabases
database.WarningSiteCount = 4900
database.MaximumSiteCount = 5000
database.Update()
Next database
End If
Next webApp
Next webService
SPWebServiceCollection webServices = new SPWebServiceCollection(SPFarm.Local);
foreach (SPWebService webService in webServices)
{
foreach (SPWebApplication webApp in webService.WebApplications)
{
if (!webApp.IsAdministrationWebApplication)
{
SPContentDatabaseCollection contentDatabases = webApp.ContentDatabases;
foreach (SPContentDatabase database in contentDatabases)
{
database.WarningSiteCount = 4900;
database.MaximumSiteCount = 5000;
database.Update();
}
}
}
}
