This blog post has a C# example:
http://blog.torresdal.net/2008/10/24/WiXAndDTFUsingACustomActionToListAvailableWebSitesOnIIS.aspx
Here are the relevant pieces:
The ListBox table has these four columns:
* Property
* Order
* Value
* Text
private static void StoreWebSiteDataInListBoxTable(DirectoryEntry webSite, int
order, View listBoxView)
{
Record newListBoxRecord = new Record(4);
newListBoxRecord[1] = "WEBSITE";
newListBoxRecord[2] = order;
newListBoxRecord[3] = webSite.Name;
newListBoxRecord[4] = webSite.Properties["ServerComment"].Value;
listBoxView.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, newListBoxRecord);
}
The listBoxView parameter above is passed this value:
View listBoxView = session.Database.OpenView("select * from ListBox");
Translating this to VB.NET should not be too difficult.
