I am retrieving value from webconfig file.
PriceCode = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[d.PriceCode].ToString() == "" ? "XXXX" : ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[d.PriceCode].ToString(),
if the value is found its fine, but if the value is not found in webconfig file an exception is thrown... why is that?
I am having this strange case, at first time when the page loades, everything goes fine. But as soon as I click on any link which makes any ajax request, after that, I get this error while trying to read the configuration."System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings' threw an exception of type 'System.Web.HttpException"I am using asp.net mvc 1.0
View 2 RepliesI've set an AppSetting key for my root directory in my web.config file and now I'm going back through my site and changing all link and resources to use this key. Then If the domain ever changes I can just change one line of code and not worry about links breaking. I'm not quite sure however how to use this when I register my header and footer user controls.
View 2 RepliesI am using MS Test to test one of my controller's actions. This method uses the ConfigurationManger to read appSettigns from the web.config. For some reason ConfigurationMangager is not able to find the appsettings.In NUNIT I would just make sure to add a copy of the webconfig file to the test project so that it is available when running in that context. However this is not working for me.

I am maintaining some Asp.net code and need some help figuring something out. Basically I have a C# statememt that reads as follows
String Em = System.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("EmailAddress")
So something tells me it is trying to read an email address. I looked in the web.config file and I don't see the string "EmailAdress" defined in the <appsettings> tags or anywhere else. Could I be looking in the wrong web.config file? Or where is system.ConfigurationManager.AppSettngs looking for the definition of the email address?
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 came across a strange behavior with this property. I had a winform with 2 buttons "button1" and "close". In the button1_clicked event I had the following code. I did not put any code in the for loop
int len=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Count;
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.
This is a bizarre behaviour I've just noticed, but very dangerous.I have the following line of code:
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SmartFormsDB"].ConnectionString))
When I run in my dev environment works fine, but when I compile and push my code to the test machine that contains a web.config with a Test DB setting, the test website
still uses my dev connection string. It's behaving as if the connection string was compiled into the binary!

It is working fine in my local machine. But giving problem while hosting the application to web server.i.e, Can not find appsettings
I should store application configuration data and default text values that will have the best performance overall. For example, I've been sticking stuff like default URL values and the default text for error messages or application instructions inside the web.config, but now I'm wondering if that will scale...

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.
I've got some question about two ways to save settings in the web.config.
Appsettings:
Look in web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="key1" value="value1"/>
<add key="key2" value="value2"/>
</appSettings>
Usage in code-behind:
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?
Can anyone tell me the differnce between
System.web.httpcontext.current.application["tag"]
or
System.Configuration.Appsettings["tag"]
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:
<add key="Environment" value="Development"/>
<add key="WebServiceLocation" value="http://<<Environment>>/text.asmx"/>
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 googled for an answer and only found a couple of references to 1. setting a fixed machinekey (which for some reason didn't work for me, I got an error saying that the virtual directory wasn't set in IIS, and as far as I know I'm not using IIS at all, I'm using the local development environment and then deploy to a web host) or 2. using a robots.txt file to stop robots from accessing the axd files, but that doesn't help either because it's not robots that cause the problem, anyone clicking around on the page will cause this error. how to solve this problem properly? For now I have handled it by catching and ignoring this particular error by the text in the error message, which works but I would rather fix it so that this error doesn't occur at all.
