The classes in the Microsoft.Web.Administration namespace contain a series of convenient top-level objects that allow the developer to perform administrative tasks. The different logical objects available include sites, applications, application pools, application domains, virtual directories, and worker processes. You can use the API to obtain and work with the configuration and state of these objects and to perform such actions as creating a site, starting or stopping a site, deleting an application pool, recycling an application pool, and even unloading application domains.
