How can I change the username and password of an application pool using the .NET ApplicationPool class?

Question

I've read this article but it doesn't appear to use the ApplicationPool class described here . Feels like this is something simple I'm missing.

Also, in case anyone feels like being extra helpful, I'm trying to accomplish this in a PowerShell script that can basically take a list of application pool names and set their credentials using a script. I can obviously derive this from a straight C# implementation, however.

Thanks!

You have to use the ProcessModel property:

using(ServerManager serverManager = new ServerManager())
{  
    ApplicationPool pool = serverManager.ApplicationPools["YourAppPool"];

    pool.ProcessModel.IdentityType = ProcessModelIdentityType.SpecificUser;  
    pool.ProcessModel.UserName = @"TheUser";  
    pool.ProcessModel.Password = @"ThePassword";  

    serverManager.CommitChanges();  
}
