IIS application restart

[rwalser]

I was wondering if anybody knows of a method to restart an ASP.NET application without restarting the IIS service. I have had luck resaving the web.config file to trick the web server into thinking a change has been to the app. However I do not want my client opening up the web.config file. Can anyone suggest of a better way to accomplish this task?

Thanks,

ryan

you can recycle the application pool that it's in. if you're going to do this frequently, then put it in its own pool.

but i'm no expert. you might want to post this in the .Net forum rather than the classic ASP forum for a more definitive answer.
