Properties

The following table lists the properties exposed by the ModuleAction class.

Name	Description
`Name`	A required unique read/write `string` value that contains the name of the module. The key property.
`PreCondition`	A read/write `string` value that contains a comma-delimited list of values that represent preconditions for the module to be loaded. The possible values are listed later in the Remarks section.
`Type`	A read/write `string` value that specifies a managed module's type.

Subclasses

This class contains no subclasses.

Remarks

Instances of this class are contained in the Modules property of the ModulesSection class.

The following table lists the possible values for the PreCondition property. The integratedMode and ISAPIMode settings are mutually exclusive. The default is null.

Value	Description
`bitness32`	IIS loads the module in a 32-bit worker process. This setting applies only to 64-bit operating systems.
`bitness64`	IIS loads the module in a 64-bit worker process. This setting applies only to 64-bit operating systems.
`integratedMode`	IIS loads the module only for application pools that run in integrated mode.
`ISAPIMode`	IIS loads the module only for application pools that run in ISAPI mode.
`runtimeVersion`	IIS loads the module only for application pools that use the specified .NET Framework version. To enable this precondition, append a string in the format vMajorVersion.MinorVersion to the string "runtimeVersion" (for example, "runtimeVersionv2.0").
`managedHandler`	IIS loads the module only if the request is mapped to a managed handler. This setting can optimize performance by preventing static files from using managed modules for every request.

Example

The following example adds a managed module to the root Web.config file.

' Connect to the WMI WebAdministration namespace.  
Set oWebAdmin = GetObject("winmgmts:root\WebAdministration")  
  
' Get the modules section.  
Set oModulesSection = _  
    oWebAdmin.Get("ModulesSection.Path=" & _  
        "'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site',Location=''")  
  
' Get the ModuleAction class.  
Set oModuleAction = oWebAdmin.Get( "ModuleAction" )  
  
' Spawn a new instance of the ModuleAction class.  
Set oNewModule = oModuleAction.SpawnInstance_  
  
' Assign values to the new module's Name and Type properties.  
oNewModule.Name = "myNewModule2"  
oNewModule.Type = "System.Web.Profile.ProfileModule2"  
  
' Call the ModulesSection.Add method to add the new module.  
' If the module entry already exists, the error "Cannot create a file  
' when that file already exists." will be displayed.  
oModulesSection.Add "Modules", oNewModule  
  
' Alert user when done.  
WScript.Echo "Done!"
