Virtual Directory Viewer free download, Virtual Directory Viewer download on software download

Did you ever face the need of maintaining a family of similar web applications, eventually hosted on multiple web servers in a farm? If yes, for sure you must have discovered how uncomfortable the standard IIS management user interface (the "IIS Manager" MMC) can be for this kind of tasks. In fact, its classical "tree on the left / details on the right" structure is not suitable for the management of different web sites "in parallel", because it forces the user to concentrate each time on a specific node or sub tree of the hierarchical structure.In my experience, I felt the lack, in "IIS Manager", of such a cross-application and cross-server transversal management when dealing with virtual directories of a web site developed in nine languages and hosted on a 10 web servers farm. The Virtual Directory Viewer application was designed to be a simple tool (named Virtual Directory Viewer) useful to check virtual directory settings on multiple web sites and web servers, through a tabular "synoptic view" obtained programmatically inspecting the IIS metabase.Basically, the behavior of the Virtual Directory Viewer is very simple:- at the beginning, you have to configure the list of the web sites and of the IIS servers you need to inspect; - then, the tool collects data about virtual directories defined under the web sites specified by you; - the collected data are presented in the form of a matrix: each column represents a web site, each row represents a virtual directory, each cell holds the physical path to which the specific virtual directory is pointing to; - the shown matrix can be easily transposed and/or sorted (for a more comfortable reading), and it can be saved in an XML file for future reference or post-processing.
