in C#/Powershell - Is it possible to change the Idle TimeOut for an IIS Application Pool?

Question

I want to disable the idle timeout (Set it to Zero) of an application pool and I want to perform this at setup time, is it possible to perform this action from C# or PowerShell?

Answer 1

When using powershell use the following:

$appPoolName = "xxxAppPool"
&"$env:windir\system32\inetsrv\appcmd" set APPPOOL $appPoolName /processModel.idleTimeout:0.00:00:00
