      <serverSideInclude ssiExecDisable="true" />
   </system.webServer>
</location>

C# file looks like below

using System;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Web.Administration;

internal static class Sample
{
   private static void Main()
   {
      using (ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager())
      {
         Configuration config = serverManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();

         ConfigurationSection serverSideIncludeSection = config.GetSection("system.webServer/serverSideInclude", "Default Web Site");
         serverSideIncludeSection["ssiExecDisable"] = true;

         serverManager.CommitChanges();
