Programatically determine if IIS site is running or not

I have a script that gathers up all sites in IIS and emails a few details for auditing. I want to adjust it so that it only emails sites that are running. I do not need to know about sites that are stopped. I already have a reference to all of the DirectoryEntrys in IIS but I don't see any properties that would indicate if it is running or not.

How is this done? Ideally this should run on both IIS6 and IIS7.

The DirectoryEntry.Properties collection, contains a ServerState property. It's not documented very well but I found this blogger that created his own enumeration which appears to be correct. The enum is

public enum ServerState
{
    Unknown = 0,
    Starting = 1,
    Started = 2,
    Stopping = 3,
    Stopped = 4,
    Pausing = 5,
    Paused = 6,
    Continuing = 7
}

Using this, the logic to check if a DirectoryEntry is running, you would use:

DirectoryEntry entry;
ServerState state = (ServerState)Enum.Parse(typeof(ServerState), entry.Properties["ServerState"].Value.ToString())
if (state == ServerState.Stopped || state == ServerState.Paused)
{
    //site is stopped
}
                        {
