Hi Suthish Yes... I have posted this question on stackoverflow on 06-06-2011. Because i dont know the ans for this question & i wanted to know. But there also i didnt get the exact ans. I got it now. But here what you have answered is simply we are getting the service names as string collection [files names]. Is there any property/method to get the Service Collection so that we can do some thing on that collection items ? Is it possible using that IIS SDK ?.

Jagan Its seems you have posted the same question on stackoverflow? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6248506/how-to-get-all-web-services-hosted-in-iis-using-c Sreenath You need to do some thing like below.. Add reference using System.DirectoryServices; DirectoryEntry iISAdmin = new System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root); foreach (var item1 in iISAdmin.Children) { foreach (var item2 in ((DirectoryEntry)(item1)).Properties) { if (((PropertyValueCollection)(item2)).PropertyName.ToString() == DefaultDoc) { if (((PropertyValueCollection)(item2)).Value != null) { if (((PropertyValueCollection)(item2)).Value.ToString().Contains(.asmx)) { Response.Write(Property Name: + ((PropertyValueCollection)(item2)).PropertyName.ToString() +  ); Response.Write(Property Value: + ((PropertyValueCollection)(item2)).Value.ToString() +  ); } } } } }
