Here is a related post in retrieving the site Id.

Here some code that might work for you:

using System.DirectoryServices;
using System;

public class IISAdmin
{
   public static void GetWebsiteID(string websiteName)
   {
      DirectoryEntry w3svc = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/w3svc");

     foreach(DirectoryEntry de in w3svc.Children)
     {
        if(de.SchemaClassName == "IIsWebServer" && de.Properties["ServerComment"][0].ToString() == websiteName)
        {
           Console.Write(de.Name);
        }

     }

  }
  public static void Main()
  {
     GetWebsiteID("Default Web Site");
  }

}

I'm not sure if it will work on IIS7, but if you install the IIS6 compatibility components for IIS7 it should work.
