Automatically recycle app pool before .net debug - asp.net

Before the start of debugging for my MVC application, I want to recycle the IIS app pool it is using. I can't find any type of script I could create or setting I could change from online searches.
Does anyone know a way to recycle the assigned app pool when I start the debug process in .NET?

If you want to restart the whole IIS,just issue iisreset command.Or You can write a simple Powershell script to do this
Import-Module WebAdministration
$mysite = "Default Web Site"
$pool = (Get-Item "IIS:\Sites\$mysite"| Select-Object applicationPool).applicationPool
Restart-WebAppPool $pool

Application pool Asp.net

I have an asp.net app and I want when this app is running on IIS,to run under an application pool with classic pipeline mode.
I know how to fix it through the IIS manager but I am wondering if it is possible to fix it from my app. I want either to change the pool or change the managed pipeline mode of the defaultAppPool.
Thank you
If your application have the right permission you may run this command line:
appcmd set app /app.name:string /applicationPool:string
The variable app.namestring is the name of the application that you want to change, and the variable applicationPoolstring is the name of the application pool to which you want to add the application

You can run a command line from your application using the System.Diagnostics.Process.Start function, and a simple example : How to redirect command line output to a ASPX page using c#?

How do you restart an asp.net web forms application?

I am getting this error after publishing my application:
The directory '/App_GlobalResources/' is not allowed because the application is precompiled.
My googling has yielded many recommendations to "restart my application" only I have no idea how to do this.
To restart your application you can open web.config in an editor, add a space somewhere, and save it. Please be aware that if you are using in-process session state the application pool will recycle, causing session state to be lost. However, this method has the benefit of not affecting web applications in other application pools.
If you want only this application to be affected, you could place it in its own application pool, or use one of the other session-state modes. Session State Modes
Refresh your website and Restart your application pool from IIS.
If you're developing locally, open a command prompt and type iisreset If you do this on a production machine you're going to take ALL the sites on that machine down during the reset. It's usually quick, but some sites can't have downtime during peak hours...
On a server, stop the app and app pool, then start them again.

Execute bat file in asp.net localhost

Hi i am trying to execute bat file in asp.net. it runs in developer/IIS Express but dosnt in IIS. i think there something with permissions. Thanks.
System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
myProcess.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(#"C:\Data\MyFile.bat");
myProcess.Start();
myProcess.Close();
Check your permissions on the C:\Data\ folder. Make sure the IIS_IUSRS has read and execute permissions.
otherwise If an application pool is configured to run using the Application Pool Identity feature then a "synthesised" account called IIS AppPool\<pool name> will be created on the fly to used as the pool identity. In this case there will be a synthesised account called IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool created for the life time of the pool. You can add this account to C:\Data\ folder permissions to grant access to your application.

About IIS APPPOOL

I have to debug a WCF hosted in local IIS. Each time I have to attach two processes "w3wp.exe".
One ID is 7624, the other is 8372.
Users: one is "IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET V4.0 Integrated[administrator]
the other one is "IIS APOOL DefaultAppPool[administrator]
Questions:
What they are? (google search but bo clue)
Can I just attach one process rather all?
Thanks
Updated:
See IIS image:
Just check in your IIS Management Console the Application Pool in which your site resides, then attach to the proper one. Probably, as you're using WCF, you're running under .NET 4, so under the first process you linked.
Application pool is the set of apps that run under same worker process.
Important thing in practice is that one app pool can serve only applications with same version of .NET (version of .NET CLR - to be precise). It is also good to remember that applications from the same app pool will "share" recycling of worker process.
So, you should look up at the IIS in which app pool your service is running and debug only process associated with this app pool.
They are Application Pool Identities. This is the newer (and securer) way of assigning priveleges to websites. Essentially a site runs on its own application pool, so you assign rights to files based on that pool.
See: http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities

which account IIS uses to run asp.net project

Any idea which account IIS uses to run asp.net project. My project or code access file which is in C:\path\path directory. When I test the project in my machine it runs fine (well I am running in built server; Cassini) but when I test the same project in development server where it uses IIS 6.0 ... my code throws a exception "Access to the file C:\path\path is denied".
Not sure how can I solve this? any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Find the identity used by the application pool your web application runs under. Here are steps for IIS 6:
Click Start | Run...
Type inetmgr, click OK
In the left-hand pane of IIS Manager, browse to your web application, e.g., My Server | Web Sites | Default Web Site | My Web App
Right-click on the web application, click Properties
In the general tab, note name of the the selected Application pool. Click Cancel
Go back to the left-hand pane of IIS Manager. Browse to My Server | Application Pools | My Application Pool, where My Application Pool is the name you found in step 5, above.
Right-click on My Application Pool, click Properties
Click on the Identity tab. This shows the identity that your web application is running under.
Use the IIS Manager to verify which Application Pool that is running the site you want to investigate.
If you look at the properties for the Application Pool, there is a tab named Identity in which you can determine what user is set to run the process.
You can also use the Task Manager to see which user is running the process named w3wp.exe, which is a process running an instance of IIS (or an Application Pool, in fact).
