In some windows machines, after stopped the IIS site which running in 80 port number, still that port number is in use. This issue randomly reproducing in few machines. Is there a way to stop this port number using C#?

There is a difference between stopping a website and releasing a port.

IIS could have several sites listening to port 80, all with different host headers. Stopping a site just means that request's aren't being handled. Try stopping the application pool.

But the ports are in use by the kernel (HTTP.sys) so no guarantee about releasing them.
