How can we set directory browsing enabled

You could try to use below command to set directory browsing enabled.

        ServerManager server = new ServerManager();

        Configuration config = server.GetWebConfiguration("TestMVC");

        ConfigurationSection directoryBrowseSection = config.GetSection("system.webServer/directoryBrowse");
        directoryBrowseSection["enabled"] = true;
        directoryBrowseSection["showFlags"] = @"Date, Time, Size, Extension";

        server.CommitChanges();

Result:
