How can I "clear" the vendor defined <controls> in my child app's web.config?
Parent Web Config.
[code]....
I have it working for the <tagMapping> section, but <controls> does not support <clear/>.
I am running into a problem with a web.config in a child project that has the same connection string setting as a parent. We have this in several of our web apps but there is one case where we want a child not to use the parent web.config. Is there a setting or command in the child web.config to ignore the parent web.config?
View 4 RepliesWhen 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 a web app that opens various child windows from one main window. The main window itself changes based on user selections. How do I detect and close any child windows when the main window closes? I suspect I could use the session object to track the instances.
View 3 RepliesI have a really tricky problem that I just don't seem to find a fix to. I have looked "everywhere" and this is my last hope.
In the root I have a web.config with a few namespaces added in the <pages> tag.
Then, I will use one subfolder for every customer with a unique web.config for each customer. Thing is that the scripts on the sites depend on a specific class for each company, located in App_Code / CustomerSpecific / <customername> / CustomerConstants.vb
Every class is embedded in a namespace with the customers name. So, if we only had one customer then the web.config in the root could say:
add namespace="customer1"
But, my plan is that every web.config in each customerfolder shall state what company name to use.
Then I can read just this customer's settings in the vb from the right file depending on the namespace.
Here comes the problem, when I test this, the site in the customer folder only reads the namespaces in the root web.config (I have tested with appsettings though and they read perfectly even from the child web.config, so there's no problem in reading from it). So something seems to be the matter with adding namespaces in the root web.config and then adding others in the child web.config.
Before you answer; yes, I have tried with both <clear /> and <remove> specific namespaces and it doesn't work anyway. The namespaces in the root web.config seems to be overriding anyway.
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.
View 1 RepliesI have the following IIS folder configuration:WebSiteX - a web site contains a ASP.NET application with a web.config file WebSiteXApp - a virtual directory (App) under WebSiteX, with a different ASP.NET application and a different web.config file.What can I do to prevent the web.config file from the WebSiteX to be inherited when accesing the ASP.NET application from WebSiteXApp, in other words, when I access the WebSiteX/App ASP.NET application I want only the web.config from that application to be considered.
View 3 RepliesI currently have 2 x ASP.NET 3.5 web applications in IIS7 (lets call them WebParent and WebChild).WebChild is nested within the WebParent listing in IIS7 and is set up as an application (rather than just a virtual directory within WebParent).

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?
We are experiencing some strange behaviour on one of our ASP.NET web servers (Windows 2003 64-bit). After some activity, two third-party controls are unable to run correctly. One is log4net (it does not write error messages out) and the other is a menu control (it displays eval message instead of picking up its license). The one common thread is that both controls pick up their config from external config files (linked to from web.config).
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or experienced this in any way. Is it related to file/folder rights? The server has been running fine for a while and just started exhibiting this behaviour. Perhaps it occurs around the time the worker processes are recycled.
I am using custom user membership in asp.NET so user is an object that contains members. One of the user's members is "IsCompanyAdmin".I have a few aspx pages for company administrators only.Is there any way to prevent those pages from non-administrator users using the web.config?

I have folder called Email which contains 20 aspx pages I am trying to apply master page to this email folder through web.config
i Got following error The relative virtual path 'MasterPage.Master' is not allowed here.
code in web.config
I have deploy my web site, it contains a project!
in MyWeb there are all the aspx page and some entites datamodel, in MyApp there are the class with function like "getter data from DB" and there is a entity data model.
afeter the deploy, I have only the web.config and the connection string for the entity datamodel....itīs run ok, read/write the data on the DB.
The problem is with MyApp.....after the deploy it is a dll file and I donīt have the app.config and the entity inside it donīt run, not read/write nothing on the DB.
There arenīt error or messager but not read/write the data in the MyApp project.
all run on the iis 7
now...the question is:
I lose the connection string (in app.config) after the deploy?
Can I put a entity in the MyWeb and read it in another project (myApp)?
ps: for connect to DB I use not the c# code:
var db=from x in AccessDB.Example select x;
I made a change in my machine.config for a 1.1 application and then later I upgraded the application to .Net Framework 3.0/3.5. Will that configuration change still apply or do I have to make that change in my local web.config for the 2.0 machine.config/web.config?

How do I engineer failover logic properly if an Assembly (.dll) cannot find a web.config file?
Background: I've got our website code nicely modularized into two different .dlls. For simplicity's sake, let's call them:
website.dll
commonengine.dll
The website code and .aspx / .ascx files calls upon the commonengine library for all data layer stuff. For connection strings, the commonengine in turn looks not to the app.config but to the website's web.config file (that's my own preference -- I prefer to have our production constants all in one place). The website code occasionally (very rarely) needs to access stuff in that web.config file. All good so far (even though not entirely pure).
Here's the trouble. I've written a third module. It's a Windows Service (specifically, it's a POP3 checker/processor -- processing mailbox requests and using the commonengine.dll for some data layer stuff). The problem is the Windows Service calls upon the commonengine.dll, and the commonengine.dll cannot find web.config anywhere because, after all, it's a Windows service (.exe) and doesn't live in a website directory.
What's the proper test/logic here to use app.config when a web.config file cannot be found?

View 1 RepliesFor some reason the Custom Errors for 404 pages are not working on my production server, but they work fine on development. Instead of going to the custom 404.aspx page, it goes to the ugly IIS 404 page.
Here is my Custom Errors protion of my web.config:
[Code]....
I changed the defaultRedirect to also go to my 404.aspx page just to make sure I was catching everything, but still it does't work. I know I could change the IIS 404 error to also point to my 404.aspx page, but that will not work for me because I need to capture the "aspxerrorpath" in the querystring for .net 404 errors. The IIS method will not give me that.
I am just hoping it is a server configuration I missed somewhere, but everything on production looks the same as on development.
If I add a namespace element to the system.web pages namespaces section of the web.config do I still have to add references in the code behinds in order to have access to the members of that namespace at design-time?
View 1 Replies14 days ago all emails were being delivered without any error, but now none of the email is delivered neither from local site nor from hosted site.I did not change any single letter of code in web.config and in pages.
Web config file is as follows.
<appSettings>
<add key="MailFromAddress" value="<user name>@gmail.com"/>
<add key="MailToAddress" value="<user name>@gmail.com"/>[code]....
and under system net
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="Jack <<user name>@gmail.com>" deliveryMethod="Network">[code]....
And the page that sends message is as follows
myMessage.From = New MailAddress(AppConfiguration.MailFromAddress, AppConfiguration.SenderName)
myMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress(AppConfiguration.MailToAddress, AppConfiguration.ReceiverName))
Dim mySmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
Try
mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = True[code]....
On debugging it always fires the catch block. Earlier I never had such problem with emails but for last few days none of the email is being delivered.Is it my system problem? Is it any port no. issue? My local site and remote site are not delivering any message. what could be the reason and how I make it functioning as before.
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.
