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 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
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.
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.
My question is whether it is possible or not to extract the "is_tube_mailer" field from the Treeview's Treenode. I attempted to cast the node.DataItem to an Xmlnode, however that only seemed to work in the TreeNodeDataBound event. I need to do this within a Button.Click event routine.
Im trying to create a "user control menu" where links to a page's usercontrols are placed at the top of the page. This will allow me to put several usercontrols on a page and allow the user to jump to that section of the page without scrolling so much. In order to do this, I put each usercontrol in a folder (usercontrols) and gave each control a Description property (<%@ Control Language="C#" Description = "Vehicles" .... %>).
My question is how can I access this description dynamically? I want to use this description as the link in my menu. So far, I have a foreach on my page that looks in the ControlCollection for a control that is of the ASP.usercontrols type. If it is I would assume that I could access its attributes and grab that description property. How can I do this? (Im also open to a better way to achieve my "user control menu", but maybe thats another question.) Should I use ((System.Web.UI.UserControl)mydynamiccontrol).Attributes.Keys?
I want to change the font size of my gridview in javascript because i am creating a printable version. How can I change the font size in javascript for the gridview?
So I've eagerly added the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace to my model.
I've added things such as:
[Required] [DisplayName("First Name")] public string first_name {get;set;}
I really like these attributes because they save me from having to write custom T4 and/or modify views heavily. This way, I can regenerate a view confident that it will add the display names I want, etc.
The problem comes in when I started building a DataGrid helper inspired by the one in ASP.NET MVC2 unleashed. In this helper, Stephen uses reflection to get at the column headings.
var value=typeOf(T).GetProperty(columnName).GetValue(item,null) ?? String.Empty;
Well, the trouble is I don't want to retrieve the property name. I want to retrieve the value for the DisplayName attribute.
My first attempt at this was to look inside the Attributes property of the PropertyInfo class. Unfortunately, none of the data annotations show up as an attribute.
Is there a way to retrieve the data annotations using reflection?
I have a view that is strongly typed and its model is of type LogOnModel. That LogOnModel has anotated properties like this one:
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Please enter your password")] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Password", Description = "Your secreet password")] public string Password { get; set; }
All of them has Display anotation with Display.Descripion property set. I want to create HtmlHelper extension method that will output <span> containg the value of Display.Description property. So for example if I called my extension method DescriptionFor than this code:
<%: Html.DescriptionFor(m => m.Password) %>
should produce following html: <span>Your secreet password</span>
I am accessing this xml file by using LINQ to XML in asp.net by using C#. I am able to access all the attributes of an XML node by explicitly specifying the name of the attribute. I want to write query on this xml file which reads all the attribute values of the xml node (In our example the node is SERVER) dynamically means I want to write the query which can read the read the value of the attribute Name & ID from first node, only name from second row, Name, ID & Parent from the third row , Name & ID from the fourth row, Name, Parent & Value from the fifth row & only Name from the sixth row without modifying the existing code every time. Once I add one of the attribute ( for example if I add the attribute ID in the sixth row ) in the above xml file then I dont need to modify my LINQ to XML query. My query should dynamically fetch the total number of attributes & display their values. Is their any way to do this ?
I have a problem with ASP.NET web configuration file. I want to deny some users or roles to accessing a specific PDF file. I am using ASP.NET membership and role management system. So I added this lines of codes to a Web.config file:
and put it to the directory witch the file is included in it. Now when I run the project in local system I can not access the PDF file wile I login with "admin" role. But when I publish the project on the web server I can not brows the folder but I can view the PDF file when I browse complete path to the PDF file. So:
'm currently planning to deploy a site with a third party hosting provider. I will only have access to the server via ftp and a tool similar to cpanel called WebsitePanelNo access to IIS set up or configs.Is there anyway to redirect http://www.example.com to http://example.com?
