  Metabase Identifier Not Recognized in ServiceController() Reply Contact Windows 2000 IIS 5.0  c# application I have a website under IIS.   It is identified in MetaEdit as 10, and also its logfile is placed in the W3SVC10 directory.  Yet when I try to access it with this code (which works for other websites on the same machine), ServiceController oSC; oSC = new ServiceController("W3SVC/10"); oSC.Start(); This exception is thrown: System.InvalidOperationException: Service W3SVC/10 was not found on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed service   John Bailo

  Re: Metabase Identifier Not Recognized in ServiceController() Reply Contact Hi,  ServiceController is used to control Windows service, it is true that you are able to control World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC), but it is not used on a per web site basis. To start or stop web site in IIS you can use DirectoryEntry class.   Zhao Ji Ma Sincerely, Microsoft Online Community Support “Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
