Programmatically change iis rights

[thibaut]

Hi,

Is it possible to programmatically change iis rights on a
file or a directory (allow write access on xml files,
deny download for databases,...).

Thanks for your help

You can manipulate much of IIS with WMI.

Heres a couple of links to get you started.

Worth bearing in mind that in the asp.net world, much of what your talking
about can be configured in web.config files, so its ofetn a case of
manipulting those.
