Question

    string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) + @"\iisreset.exe";
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(path);

    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(info);

You'll need to have administrative permissions to do this; running IIS as administrator is absolutely not recommended!

Rather, I'd suggest that instead of trying to administer the site from itself you work with one of the remote access / remote management tools. Something like the remote administration for IIS is basic but useable: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/158/remote-administration-for-iis-manager/ .
