SPVirtualServerCollection Class
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Obsolete. Use the SPWebApplicationCollection class instead. (In Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, the SPVirtualServerCollection class represented a collection of SPVirtualServer objects, and is maintained for backward compatibility.)

Remarks
Use the VirtualServers property of the SPGlobalAdmin class to return all the virtual servers in the deployment of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.
To create an administrative virtual server, use the CreateAdminVirtualServer method of the SPGlobalAdmin class. To extend a virtual server, use one of the ExtendVirtualServer methods of the SPGlobalAdmin class.
Use an indexer to return a single virtual server from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myVirtualServers, use myVirtualServers[index] in C#, or myVirtualServers(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is the index number of the server in the collection.
Examples
The following code example iterates through the collection of virtual servers in a deployment and extends virtual servers that have not been extended with SharePoint Foundation and creates a top-level site for each.
This example assumes the presence of an administrative form digest in the .cs or .vb file. For information about security validation, see Security Validation and Making Posts to Update Data.
