Get IIS site id from a website

Question

I have made a user control in asp.net c#. Becuase of some data I need to retrieve I would like to get the site id that is used for this site in iis. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This will give you the site ID:

Request.ServerVariables[ "INSTANCE_ID" ]

If you just need to get it once then you can lookup the log file path in the IIS MMC. The number after the "W3SVC" part is also the site id.
