Visual Studio 2010 IIS Express Get Configured Port Numbers

Question

I am currently developing an ASP.NET MVC 3 site using Visual Studio 2010 with SSL enabled for debugging on my local machine via IIS Express. A port is assigned for http and https in the applicationhost.config file for my site.

For the sake of example, let's say my http port is 3333, and my https port is 6666.

Is there a way to access these port numbers that are configured in IIS Express programatically in my ASP.NET code?

I can access the port number I am currently using, ie. if I am hitting a page at http://localhost:3333/somepage, then I can get at the 3333, but I want to be able to get the 6666 from the web server configuration.

You can get the ports using the Binding class of Microsoft.Web.Administration. Below is an example.

using (ServerManager sm = new ServerManager())
{
    var bindings = sm.Sites[HostingEnvironment.ApplicationHost.GetSiteName()].Bindings;
    foreach (Binding b in bindings)
    {
        if (b.IsIPPortHostBinding)
        {
            if (b.Protocol.Equals("http"))
                Debug.WriteLine("HTTP port is " +  b.EndPoint.Port);
            else if (b.Protocol.Equals("https"))
                Debug.WriteLine("HTTPS port is " + b.EndPoint.Port);
        }

    }
}
