Recycler Introduction

Introduction

This is a Test Application which can be used to recycle the IIS Application Pools of the server. In this application I have given only one server but you can give any number of servers you want just add the buttons and copy the code of the button "button_Server_Click" to the other button's code. Also you can add any number of application pools that you want to.

Using the code

This is a test application. In this application I have used WMIC Code to recycle the AppPools of the server. The code to recycle the AppPool is written in the button click event "button_Server_Click".

string command = String.Empty;//string variable..

//Passing WMIC code to command variable.For recycling more than one apppool declare multiple string variables and pass WMIC code like mentioned below.

command = "wmic /namespace:" + "\"\\\\root/MicrosoftIISv2\"" + " /node:" + " \"Your_Server_Name\"  " + "path IISApplicationPool where (name like '%Your_IISAppool1%') call recycle";
           ExecuteCmd cmd = new ExecuteCmd();//declaring object of class ExecuteCmd
           cmd.ExecuteCommandAsync(command);//Passing string variable containing WMIC code to method ExecuteCommandAsync declared in class ExecuteCmd.

//This"ExecuteCommandAsync" method is used  to execute the WMIC Command. it is in the class "ExecuteCmd"

public void ExecuteCommandAsync(string command)
        {
            try
            {
                //Asynchronously start the Thread to process the Execute command request.
                Thread objThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(ExecuteCommandSync));
                //Make the thread as background thread.
                objThread.IsBackground = true;
                //Set the Priority of the thread.
|                objThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.AboveNormal;

               //Start the thread.
                objThread.Start(command);
            }

            catch (ThreadStartException objException)
            {
                // Log the exception
            }
            catch (ThreadAbortException objException)
            {
                // Log the exception

            }
            catch (Exception objException)
            {
                // Log the exception
                MessageBox.Show(objException.Message.ToString());
            }
        }
        #endregion 

Here the main code is:

"wmic /namespace:" + "\"\\\\root/MicrosoftIISv2\"" + " /node:" + " \"%Your_ Server_Name%\" " + "path IISApplicationPool where (name like '%Your_IISAppool1%') call recycle";"

In "% Your_Server_Name%":- Give the name of the server whose AppPool you want to recycle.

In" %Your_IISAppool1%":- Give the name of IIS AppPool of the server you want to recycle.

Point to be noted

All the servers should be in the same network.

Interesting Feature

WMIC Code provides many features. Exploring this application was challenging; converting the command line WMIC code was great fun.
