IIS 8及更高版本不支持Servermanager

Question

I want to check wheather an application pool is present or not in IIS.For that I use servermanager as follows-->

ServerManager mgr = new ServerManager();
  if (mgr.ApplicationPools["myapplicationpoolname"] == null)
{
//My Procedure to create application pool as app pool doesnt exist
}

This works buttery smooth on IIS 7.5 and below versions.But in IIS 8 and above servermanager cannot be used the above way due to memory leak issues.I even tried the suggested workaround on MSDN as follows-->

 var mgr = ServerManager.OpenRemote("localhost");

Still no luck.I am stuck up as I am unable to use servermanager in IIS 8 and above:(Any help would be appreciated:)

ServerManager should work just fine in Windows 8 or above, please make sure you are referencing the right version of it located in Windows\\system32\\inetsrv. Also make sure that you are not "copying a version of the DLL", this DLL should always be loaded from the GAC and references from inetsrv directory, otherwise you can run into versioning issues.
