Creating Virtual Directories Programmatically using C#

If you need to create a virtual directory in IIS, it is very easy to do through managed code. Here is an example of a method that creates a virtual directory in IIS.    

   private static void EnsureVirtualDirectoryExists(FileInfo newFile)

        {

            ServerManager iisManager = new ServerManager();

            var virtualDirectories = iisManager.Sites["Default Web Site"].Applications["/BIDSService"].VirtualDirectories;

            if (!virtualDirectories.Any(vd => vd.Path == "/Previews"))

            {

                if (virtualDirectories.AllowsAdd)

                {

                    virtualDirectories.Add("/Previews", Path.GetDirectoryName(newFile.FullName));

                    iisManager.CommitChanges();

                }

            }

        }
