Why the IIS application pool is not created at all?

There is something terribly wrong below but i just cannot figure out what. Although the website is created like a charm, the Application pool that should be associated with it, is not created at all.

public string Create(string sitename)
        {
            try
            {
                using (ServerManager serverMgr = new ServerManager())
                {
                    string strhostname = sitename + "." + domain;
                    string bindinginfo = ":80:" + strhostname;

                    if (!IsWebsiteExists(serverMgr.Sites, strhostname))
                    {
                        Site mySite = serverMgr.Sites.Add(strhostname, "http", bindinginfo, "C:\\admin\\" + domain);

                        ApplicationPool newPool = serverMgr.ApplicationPools.Add(strhostname);
                        newPool.ManagedRuntimeVersion = "v4.0";
                        newPool.ManagedPipelineMode = ManagedPipelineMode.Integrated;

                        serverMgr.CommitChanges();
                        return "Website  " + strhostname + " added sucessfully";
                    }

                    else
                    {
                        return "Name should be unique, " + strhostname + " already exists.";
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return ex.Message;
            }
        }

What am i doing wrong here?

What's happening here is that when you create your site it automatically gets assigned to the DefaultAppPool.

What you need to do is replace your site's root Application (/) and point it at the application pool you just created.

The easiest way to do this is to first clear your new site's Application collection, then add a new root application that points to your application pool.

Taking your code snippet I changed it to the following:

Site mySite = serverMgr.Sites.Add(strhostname, "http", bindinginfo, "C:\\admin\\" + domain);

// Clear Applications collection
mySite.Applications.Clear();

ApplicationPool newPool = serverMgr.ApplicationPools.Add(strhostname);
newPool.ManagedRuntimeVersion = "v4.0";
newPool.ManagedPipelineMode = ManagedPipelineMode.Integrated;

// Create new root app and specify new application pool
Application app = mySite.Applications.Add("/", "C:\\admin\\" + domain);
app.ApplicationPoolName = strhostname;

serverMgr.CommitChanges();

I wouldnt expect the App Pool name to have punctuation in it. Adding the domain as part of the app pool name is a little unusual - perhaps thats the source. The basic method is discussed here, along with the appcmd syntax to make the same thing happen on the command line - try creating your app pool on the cmd line to see if your parameters are acceptable.

Create an application pool that uses .NET 4.0
