New Post: Create Application Pool for Virtual Directory

Hi Team

I have started using BTDF for my biztalk deployment and i found it quite powerful.

1) I want to use BTDF to deploy virtual Directories along with BizTalk artifacts.Also i want to create application Pool if it is not present.

However, i couldn't find anything which can point me in right direction?

2) I want to have App Pool name dynamic using Settingfile. I tried that, but while deploying the solution, BTDF takes AppPool as String instead of replacing it with value from setting file.

I used following:
<VDirList Include="*">

<Vdir>My.Vdir</Vdir>
  <Physdir>..\Configuration\VirtualDirectory\My.Vdir</Physdir>
  <AppPool>${MyAppPool}</AppPool>
  <AppPoolNetVersion>4.0</AppPoolNetVersion>
</VDirList>

</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PropsFromEnvSettings Include="SsoAppUserGroup;SsoAppAdminGroup;MyAppPool" />
</ItemGroup>

However IIS show "${MyAppPool} as Application Pool for my Virtual Directory.


Please help.

Thanks
