Examples

The following example implements several of the methods and properties of the ApplicationPool class. This example retrieves the ApplicationPool objects in the service module, modifies the property values of the ApplicationPool objects, places the objects into a property bag, and displays the property values in the page module.

Service module:

// Gets the application pool collection from the server.
[ModuleServiceMethod(PassThrough = true)]
public ArrayList GetApplicationPoolCollection()
{
    // Use an ArrayList to transfer objects to the client.
    ArrayList arrayOfApplicationBags = new ArrayList();

    ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager();
    ApplicationPoolCollection applicationPoolCollection = serverManager.ApplicationPools;
    foreach (ApplicationPool applicationPool in applicationPoolCollection)
    {
        PropertyBag applicationPoolBag = new PropertyBag();
        applicationPoolBag[ServerManagerDemoGlobals.ApplicationPoolArray] = applicationPool;
        arrayOfApplicationBags.Add(applicationPoolBag);
        // If the applicationPool is stopped, restart it.
        if (applicationPool.State == ObjectState.Stopped)
        {
            applicationPool.Start();
        }
        // Set the CPU limit to a maximum of 25.
        if (applicationPool.Cpu.Limit > 25)
        {
            applicationPool.Cpu.Limit = 25;
        }
        // Set the process model max process to 1 to prohibit Web Garden
        if (applicationPool.ProcessModel.MaxProcesses > 1)
        {
            applicationPool.ProcessModel.MaxProcesses = 1;
        }
        // Set the recycling time to a maximum of one day (1440 minutes).
        if (applicationPool.Recycling.PeriodicRestart.Time.TotalMinutes > 1440)
        {
            applicationPool.Recycling.PeriodicRestart.Time = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1440);
        }
    }

    // CommitChanges to persist the changes to the ApplicationHost.config.
    serverManager.CommitChanges();
    return arrayOfApplicationBags;
}

Page module:

// Get the ApplicationPool collection
ArrayList applicationPoolCollectionArray = _serviceProxy.GetApplicationPoolCollection();
string applicationdisplay = null;
applicationdisplay = "\nThere are " +
    applicationPoolCollectionArray.Count.ToString() + " applicationPools.\n";
foreach (PropertyBag bag in applicationPoolCollectionArray)
{
    ApplicationPool applicationPool = (ApplicationPool)bag[ServerManagerDemoGlobals.ApplicationPoolArray];
    applicationdisplay += "  " + applicationPool.Name + ":\n";
    applicationdisplay += "    FrameworkVersion - " + applicationPool.ManagedRuntimeVersion + "\n";
    applicationdisplay += "    State: " + applicationPool.State + "\n";
    applicationdisplay += "    WorkerProcesses: " + applicationPool.WorkerProcesses.Count + "\n";
    foreach (WorkerProcess workerProcess in applicationPool.WorkerProcesses)
    {
        applicationdisplay += "       " + workerProcess.ToString() + "\n";
    }
    applicationdisplay += "    CPU limit: " + applicationPool.Cpu.Limit.ToString() + "\n";
    applicationdisplay += "    MaxProcesses: " + applicationPool.ProcessModel.MaxProcesses.ToString() + "\n";
    applicationdisplay += "    Restart time: " + applicationPool.Recycling.PeriodicRestart.Time.TotalMinutes + "\n\n";
}

Remarks

This class provides configuration and management functionality for application pools. Properties of this class generally correspond directly to the attributes of the applicationPools configuration element in the IIS 7 configuration system.

Application pools are associated with worker processes, contain one or more applications, and provide isolation among different applications.

Enable32BitAppOnWin64

Gets or sets a value indicating whether to allow 32-bit applications to run on a computer that has a 64-bit processor.

Failure
