Code posted below ( I am not sure which group to post to, but I need help)
I wrote a Windows Form Application to query the IIS MimeMap on the localhost
which worked fine.
I ran the same code in asp.net and got "Access is Denied" exception.
What is the least permissions set I should grant the aspnet account to avoid
the exception.
Or any other suggest would be fine
Thanks.
Private Function CacheMimeMaps() As Specialized.StringDictionary
#If DEBUG Then
Dim starttime As DateTime = DateTime.Now
#End If
Dim entry As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry
Try
Dim mimeMaps As New Specialized.StringDictionary
entry = New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/MimeMap")
Dim pvcMimeMap As DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection =
entry.Properties("MimeMap")
For Each o As Object In pvcMimeMap
Dim mt As IISOle.IISMimeType = CType(o, IISOle.IISMimeType)
mimeMaps.Add(mt.Extension, mt.MimeType)
#If DEBUG Then
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", mt.Extension, mt.MimeType)
#End If
Next
' MimeMaps were found
If mimeMaps.Count > 0 Then
Me.Cache.Add(MIMEMAP, mimeMaps, Nothing, Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration,
Cache.NoSlidingExpiration, Caching.CacheItemPriority.Low, Nothing)
Return mimeMaps
End If
pvcMimeMap = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception ' do nothing
Stop
Finally
#If DEBUG Then
Dim endtime As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Console.WriteLine(starttime.ToString() & "." &
starttime.Millisecond.ToString())
Console.WriteLine(endtime.ToString() & "." & endtime.Millisecond.ToString())
#End If
If (Not entry Is Nothing) Then
entry.Close()
entry.Dispose()
End If
End Try
End Function
