hi ApplicationHost.config is the root file of the configuration system when your are using IIS 7 and above. It includes definitions of all sites applications virtual directories and application pools as well as global defaults for the web server settings. It is also special in that it is the only IIS configuration file available when the web server is installed. it is located at %Windowdir%\System32\inetsrv\config\schema\IIS_schema.xml please refer http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/128/iis-7-and-iis-8-configuration-reference/#HowTo hope this help.

This can be done using the IIS ADSI provider or the IIS WMI provider. Here is a link to some documentation on the providers http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524926(v=VS.90).aspx Here within the documentation you can find detailed info on using the IIS ADS provider to get the IIS properties. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525389(v=VS.90).aspx
