how to extract the text from a Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElement object

Question

If I run the command in powershell:

C:\Get-Website

it outputs

Name             ID   State      Physical Path                  Bindings
----             --   -----      -------------                  --------
Default Web Site 1               %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot  http *:80:
                                                                net.tcp 808:*
                                                                net.pipe *
                                                                net.msmq localhost
                                                                msmq.formatname 
                                                                localhost

But if I try to select just the Bindings:

C:\Get-Website | where {$_.Name -eq "Default Web Site"} | select Bindings

It returns:

bindings : Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElement

How do I extract the contents of this object into a useful format?

The bindings property is a collection so you have to use the ExpandProperty parameter:

Get-Website -Name "Default Web Site" | select -ExpandProperty Bindings

To drill down further:

get-website -name "Default Web Site" | select -ExpandProperty Bindings | Select -ExpandProperty Collection

Recently I was working on similar command but for list all Sites and its bindings. In IIS this is what i did :

get-childItem | 
select * , @{Name="SiteBindings"; Expression = {($_.Bindings.Collection | %{$_.protocol + "  " + $_.BindingInformation} | Out-String).replace("`r","" ) }}

Note the replace("`r","" ). It is needed if you need to export to CSV.

There's also the Get-WebBinding cmdlet that can be used if you don't want to start from Get-Website.

Import-Module WebAdministration

Get-WebBinding

This will display all of the binding info for all websites, and you can filter it down further from there.

Here's sample output of running the above command.

protocol             : http
bindingInformation   : *:80:
sslFlags             : 0
isDsMapperEnabled    : False
certificateHash      :
certificateStoreName :
ItemXPath            : /system.applicationHost/sites/site[@name='Default Web Site' and @id='1']
RunspaceId           : b7052f71-a213-437c-a97f-00fb9fa84a7f
Attributes           : {Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationAttribute,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationAttribute,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationAttribute,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationAttribute…}
ChildElements        : {}
ElementTagName       : binding
Methods              : {Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationMethod,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationMethod,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationMethod,
                       Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationMethod…}
Schema               : Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElementSchema
