Anyhow, if you want to manipulate the handlers section, Microsoft provides an assembly for that purpose: Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll (found in %SystemRoot%\System32\InetSrv). Its ServerManager lets you read the app's host config, and you can also update and save it. (It can also be used to control any other aspect of IIS7, so you no longer need to use WMI/ADSI to configure sites.) http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment9http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment9Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:06:19 GMTDamn! You are correct. Thanks! http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment8http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment8Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:20:21 GMT> And I _am_ using system.webServer/handlers Your code and the error message say: "system.webServer/httpHandlers" http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment7http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment7Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:04:49 GMTThat is not what I want, I want to read the data from the IIS7 data, in integrated mode. And I _am_ using system.webServer/handlers, but that is not readable, unfortunately. http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment6http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment6Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:18:46 GMTC-J Berg, Um, no, it _is_ a standard section, and notice what I am trying to do: _Microsoft.Web.Administration.WebConfigurationManager_, this is using the IIS7 API, and I am trying to read the IIS 7 data. http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment5http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment5Tue, 10 Jun 2008 20:18:01 GMTFor backward compatibility, you should change to "Classic" ASP.NET integration mode... or keep it "Integrated" and change the config file (system.web/httpHandlers -> system.webServer/handlers) See http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/243/aspnet-integration-with-iis7/ http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment4http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment4Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:18:33 GMTSo you are trying to read a non-standard section (or misspelled, but IIS cannot know that) that's not declared in configSections, and you then get upset because IIS tells you so, in plain english even? :-) Try this: WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.webServer/handlers"); http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment3http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment3Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:16:01 GMTIIS7 http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment2http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment2Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:58:13 GMTThat should be system.webServer/handlers for IIS7 or system.web/httpHandlers for IIS6. http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment1http://ayende.com/3360/i-hate-iis-today#comment1Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:52:50 GMT
