Configuration :: How To Merge A Distribution Web.config File And An Existing Web.config File
Mar 30, 2010
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'm running into a really annoying problem with my Linq to SQL project. When I add everything in under the web project everything goes as expected and I can tell it to use my existing connection string stored in the web.config file and the Linq code pulls directly from the ConfigurationManager.
This all turns ugly once I move the code into its own project. I've created an app.config file, put the connection string in there as it was in the web.config but when I try to add another table in the IDE keeps forcing me to either hardcode the connection string or creates a Settings file and puts it in there, which then adds a new entry into the app.config file with a new name.
Is there a way keep my Linq code in its own project yet still refer back to my config file without the IDE continuously hardcoding the connection string or creating the Settings file? I'm converting part of my DAL over to use Linq to SQL so I'd like to use the existing connection string that our old code is using as well as keep the value in a common location, and one spot, instead of in a number of spots.
Manually changing the mode to WebSettings instead of AppSettings works untill I try to add a new table, then it goes back to hardcoding the value or recreating the Settings file. I also tried to switch the project type to be a web project and then rename my app.config to web.config and then everything works as I'd like it to. I'm just not sure if there are any downfalls to keeping this as a web project since it really isn't one. The project only contains the Linq to SQL code and an implementation of my repository classes.
My project layout looks like this
[code]....
Every time I try to make the default constructor look like the first way, it always auto changes back to the second way once I make a change to the file unless the DBML is inside of a web project.

I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,
Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find file 'C:11-2 estobjDebugCSAutoParameterize ransformedWeb.config'. 0 0 test
Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.

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'm using IIS 7.5 and .NET 3.5 sp1.

I want to publish my website from the development machine to QA server. Do I need to create a new web.config file which has the new data connection strings and copy it on the QA server or is there a better way of doing this, so that every time I publish modified files, the web.config does not get overwritten.

I am designing a web application for Leave Application of our faculties. There is a form in my website which represent the existing paper-back leave application form. Users(faculties) have to fill-up this web form and after validation an email will be send to the email address of our principal/hod. I hope that email address(s) will be provided to our group members. Now I want to know that what will be the required configuration of the web.config file? I found this blog ScottGu's Blog. Here the given configuration is:
[Code]....
But I think this is not acceptable for my project as the smtp from="test@foo.com", userName, password are unknown to me. So what should I do. Am I able to understand my requirement to you?

retrieve appsettings from the app.config file stored in a DLL directory?
I have read many posts on this and it appears as though it's not possible. I've tried all configurationmanager options without success.
Of course, when my .net web app runs, it configurationmanager pulls the settings from the web.config which I understand. I would just like to have a configuration file dedicated to the dll. (like app.config).

I have two test machines that both have the same issue. I have one running IIS7.5 with Windows 2008 R2 and another server running IIS7 on WIndows 2008. I am having a problem with my Web.config files not being published to the server using WebDAV. The file seems to be replaced with a blank Web.config file. Since the Web.config file is blank non of my AJAX web pages are working. I have AJAX web pages that use Microsoft's AJAX 2.0 or 3.5 (they were created in Visual Studio 2008) and I have AJAX web pages that use pure javascript accessing Codebehind classes by AjaxPro2.dll I found on the Web. All these projects worked on Windows Server 2003 with ASP.NET v3.5 because it published the Web.config file.I believe the issue has something to do with the validation process Windows 2008 uses to make sure the Web.config file is not corrupt. I tried many Web.configs and nothing works. All my applications are running from a single root folder located in inetpubwwwroot
and that single folder is "converted to application" using the DefaultAppPool (ASP.NET v2.0 Integrated Mode).
I found a workaround which is to publish my normal Web.config and a copy of it name something else like Web2.config. The Web.config is replaced on the server with a blank one, which I delete directly from the server (via Remote Desktop) and I rename the other Web2.config. This works for all my AJAX webpages both the MS AJAX and the "native" ones using pure javascript and the AJAXPro2.dll.
I tried setting the application on IIS to another Application Pool "ASP.NET v4.0 Integrated" and my MS AJAX web pages work perfectly with the blank Web.config file and not using the workaround at all. However, the "native" AJAX using purjavascript and the AJAXPro2.dll do not work because they require settings in the Web.config. This means there is something that ASP.NET 4.0 has that allows it to run the MS AJAX without a proper Web.config. I thought this might help you figure out my problem.
I have been racking my brain over this for a few weeks now and I am stuck. I really need help with getting my Web.config file from my VS2008 applications to publish (via WebDAV) to my IIS server. I can do this in either setup IIS7.5 Windows Server 2008 R2 or IIS7 Windows Server 2008. I am a programmer not system administrator. I have admin access of these servers and the system adminstrator is also stumped.Let me know if you need any additional information like my Web.config file or log files from the server.

I have 1 web application, 2 databases (same design, with different data), and 2 web.config files (web1.config. web2.config) ;
What I do need is a way to change the web.config file name programaticcaly on code behind.
So, this way I can select on runtime accoerding to the current theme the web.config currently being used.
Ofcourse that if I could do inheritnce of the web.config files it would be te best approaach, but only one web.config file is allowed per directory.
deploy this configuration to achieve a multiple websites to one web project.

I have this in the web config file <connectionstrings> section. Why is there an add and then remove and then again an add...what is it trying to accomplish here? and in the second code section, I use that string in a sqldatasource control. Second question: Can I just use the name attribute value "localsqlserver" form web config file, in place of the connection string in the data source? is it why that attribute is for?

I've been thinking about this for a couple days but still would like some feedback on the best way to go about this:
I have multiple sites (domains) that will be running the same code. However, there are a couple settings I have in the appsettings web.config file which are relative to each site. (ie: defaultSiteTitle, emailFromAddress, etc).
I would like to deploy this application in only one location (folder) and point the domains in IIS to that one directory.
To do this, I believe I cannot use the web.config file to hold these settings...
So, I decided to make a SiteSettings.xml file and load the site settings in there:
<sites>
<oSite domain="abc.com" defaultSiteTitle="This is Site ABC" emailFromAddress="info@abc.com" />
<oSite domain="xyz.com" defaultSiteTitle="This is Site XYZ" emailFromAddress="info@xyz.com" />
</sites>
So when I need to access the site settings I just call a function in my datalayer that reads this xml file and via the httpRequest I pass it it determines which site settings to use.
Okay, that works when I call it from a page where I have the httpRequest...
Howver, now when I'm into some business layer functions say sendEmail and I need to find the emailFromAddress from the SiteSettings.xml file, I don't have the httpRequest. I know I could probably hack something together and pass it someway...
But I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this...
I don't really want to store it into session.
Is it possible to tell IIS what web.config file to look at, if I had multiple web.config files? (I don't think this is possible).
