i have stored settings in the AppSettings section of the web.config file.
I'm trying to access these settings via System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings, but the AppSettingsCollection is empty. So I can't access this settings.
The strange thing is that this is working on my development machine, but is failing on the production machine. Previous versions of the web application have also worked on the production machine. I'm not aware of any modifications that could couse this.
I have also tried using ConfigurationManager and WebConfigurationManager without success.
Does somebody knows how to access applicationSettings-Keys in web.config (NOT appSettings) from aspx.file like "<%? applicationSettings:Keyname %>? This seems to work only with the old "appSettings".
From code I can it access it with "Properties.Settings.Default.Keyname", thats clear.
In the span's onclick handler i wrote "javascript: alert(getAppSetting('ftpuser'));" for testing, and built some alerts into the function. The first alert returns [object]. That's nice, i thought. The second alert returned 0. That's strange, because the web.config has exactly 1 of this node. So i guess that the function doesn't actually load the correct document. Has anyone done something similar ? When i don't suppy a full path, doesn't javascript assume that it should look for the file in the virtual directory of the current web application where the web.config is ?
I have a web.config in a sub directory with an appSetting in it. It does not seem to be picked up and added to the appSettings collection? what I'm doing wrong or how to get round setting directory specific settings?
The directory has this config file
[Code]....
And its picked up (or not) by an ascx control like so
My question now: How do I access these values in the code? I understand that the ConfigurationManager can be used to access key value pairs in the appSettings section but this is different.
I've got some custom values in the AppSettings, in my web.config file.
These values get checked upon every Request.
eg.
So if every request checks the web.config file for the value of this key, would be be smart to put this into the Application cache (eg. via the global.asax) instead of checking this value EVERY request?
I'm assuming that when we read a value from the AppSettings, the website does a physical read of the web.config file? or is this information also all read into Memory when the website starts up and all references to any appSettings information is just an inmemory read .. not a disk I/O read?
I am facing an amazing problem in ASP.NET. I have a website with many sub directories. The sub directories have aspx and aspx.cs files but do not contain web.config files. I am using the web.config file of the parent directory for storing config items for the respective code files in sub directories. But when i m trying to read the web.config using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[] with absolutely the correct keys, there's no value being returned. Most amazing fact is, this same code works fine in dev enviroment but not in staging.
What exactly we have in appSettings.config file. My company is using this file in the code to differentiate between Development and Production Environment.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key1"]; ApplicationSettings/ Properties (autogenerated by using the 'properties'-tab in the project) Look in web.config <applicationSettings> <Projectname.Properties.Settings> <setting name="Testenvironment" serializeAs="String"> <value>True</value> </setting> </Projectname.Properties.Settings> </applicationSettings>
Usage:
Properties.Settings.Default.Testenvironment
So, what the difference between these two storage possibilities of settings in the web.config? As far as I can see, a downside of the appSettings is that you have modify the web.config yourself and the appSettings are not strong tiped, where as the applicationSettings are. Both are replaceable with in a web deployment project.As far as I am concerned, there is no use for appSettings. Am I missing something here? Which is the historically seen older one?
My current project has many peripheral systems and many different environments (testing, integration, development etc). As expected, we're using .config files to dynamically manage everything.
Instead of updating each relavant key when deploying to an environment, I was hoping there was a way to change 1 key only. Such as:
I've done some searching and haven't come up with an elegant solution. I'm aware that .config files can make use of system variables, but this seems like a bit of a high wire act.
I have a question about javascript. In my project, there are embedded and non-embedded javascript codes. And i did localization of the embedded codes like below and it works.
I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
I'd like to mimic the behavior of the "profile provider" that is available in .Net. The profile provider acquires profile properties from the web.config and those properties are immediately available as an enum for use in the code behind.I'm unsure how to do this, and wondered whether someone may be able to help.Essentially I'd like to allow developers to enter Role information into the web.config, and then have this role information available for use within an enum in the codebehind.
Currently, I work on an ASP.NET project which is hosted under version control and is used on several developer machines, tester machine and production environment.
In three cases, configuration (Web.config) may be different. For example, developer and tester environments use testing SQL Server, whereas in production environment, another SQL Server is accessed, so the connection string is different in those cases.
We want to keep three versions of Web.config in subversion. But modifying each of three files every time we need to add, remove or change a common setting is annoying: it would be nice to have a common, master Web.config, which will be inherited by each of the three Web.config files.
How to set up an ASP.NET project which will use a master configuration file and different slave configuration files on different machines, thus sharing the same project/source code/configuration files in subversion?
When I open my ASP.NET site in IIS and try to open the .NET Trust Levels, I get an error message:
.NET Trust Levels There was an error while performing this operation.
Details: Filename: ?C:inetpubwwwrootmyappweb.config Line number: 445
Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"),or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".
I've checked a few places, but I haven't found anything that seems like it would be locking that setting. Is there a systematic way of determining where that setting is locked?
I have many Connection strings in my web.config file. I also have a "dataConfiguration" setting in the same file which specifies what database my app connects to.
How do I read the "defaultDatabase" setting / section from the, see below xml file. <configuration>
I am developing web applicaiton. I want to read web.config in App.config file. I have appSettings and connectionStrings in web.config. How to read that?
Is it possible to have separate config files for specific sections of the web.config? Specifically I'd like to move IIS 7's rewrite section out of the web.config and into it's own config file.
