Recreating site in IIS from configuration file

Hi,
I am trying to programmatically (using ASP.NET C#) create a new site in IIS
from a "configuration file" (XML format) that was created in IIS. To
elaborate, I have saved a "configuration file" of a web site manually (i.e.
right click a web site in IIS -> All Tasks -> Save Configuration to a
File...). Next, the site gets deleted by the process (i.e. the web
application that I am developing) which can be done without a problem. But
NOW I need to use this same tool (once again, using C#) to recreate the site
in IIS using the configuration file that was saved (i.e. equivalent to right
click at the root level in IIS -> New -> Web Site from file...and the point
to the XML file that was created manually). I have tried to look for "Invoke"
method's "methodName" under DirectoryEntry namespace, MSDN, Google without
any luck. Anybody has any idea?
If you can give me some direction that will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

The IIS MMC does this coding itself.
So you should code the XML save as and read from your selves. (There is no
WMI/ADSI property that does this for you)
