Just thought of sharing a some useful IIS App pool functions I wrote long back in C#. Requirement was to play around with IIS v5.0/6.0 and do all settings dynamically -
Note : You must have administrator priveledge to perform all IIS actions.

Hope you folks find it useful. If you need any other help related to IIS, just post me your requirement.
