How can I programmatically stop the current website? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can do it with the help of "Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll"

using Microsoft.Web.Administration;

After adding the reference of "Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll" write below code in Global.asax

  protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                MyApp.cNumberOfLicenses = COM.GetNumberOfLicenses();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                // get the web site name
                var lWebSiteName = System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationHost.GetSiteName();

                // log exception
                // stop web site.
                using (ServerManager smg = new ServerManager())
                {
                    var site = smg.Sites.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Name == lWebSiteName);
                    if (site != null)
                    {
                        //stop the site...
                        site.Stop();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
