Public Function GetAppPoolNames() As List(Of String)
    Dim Root As System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = GetDirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/AppPools")
    'DirectoryEntry Root = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root");
    Dim AppList As New List(Of String)
    If Root Is Nothing Then

    Else
        For Each dir As DirectoryEntry In Root.Children
            Dim pr As System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection = dir.Properties
            'ApplicationPool pool = new ApplicationPool();
            'pool.Name = dir.Name;
            'DropDownList1.Items.Add(pool.Name);
            AppList.Add(dir.Name)
        Next

    End If
    Return AppList
End Function
Private Function GetDirectoryEntry(ByVal path As String) As DirectoryEntry
    Dim root As DirectoryEntry = Nothing
    Try
        root = New DirectoryEntry(path)
    Catch
        'Console.WriteLine("Could not access Node")
        Return Nothing
    End Try
    If root Is Nothing Then
        'Console.WriteLine("Could not access Node")
        Return Nothing
    End If
    Return root
End Function
