C# equivalent of Get-SPServiceApplicationPool

Question

How to I get a list of all SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool on my current farm? There is a powershell command that can do this named Get-SPServiceApplicationPool but I want to get the list in a C# application without using a PowerShell object.

Answer 1

Try following: You can modify according to your need and name any service which is by default present in Each webaplication.

foreach (SPService service in SPFarm.Local.Services)
{
    if (service.Name.Equals("ServiceName"))
    {
        foreach (SPServiceApplication serviceApp in service.Applications)
        {
            SPIisWebServiceApplication webServiceApp = (SPIisWebServiceApplication) serviceApp;
            SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool appPool = webServiceApp.ApplicationPool;
        }
    }
}

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DirectoryEntries appPools = 
                new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/AppPools").Children;

            foreach (DirectoryEntry appPool in appPools)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(appPool.Name);
            }
