Disable IIS Idle Timeouts in Azure Web Role

Question

To prevent AppPool recycling every 20 minutes, I\'d like to remove IIS AppPool Idle Timeouts when my Azure Web Role starts. My website is a Web Application Project.

Answer 1

This is the approach I took:

using (ServerManager iisManager = new ServerManager())
{
    Application app = iisManager.Sites[RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id + "_Web"].Applications[0];

    TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(0, 00, 00);

    iisManager.ApplicationPoolDefaults.ProcessModel.IdleTimeout = ts;

    iisManager.CommitChanges();
}

Requires:

using Microsoft.Web.Administration;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime;
