Configuration :: Using Transforms In Web.config
May 6, 2010
I am trying to utilize Transforms in my Web.Configs.It is working when I publish, however, if I run from Visual Studio they seem to have NO effect.
I am using VS2010 / .NET 3.5 project / Silverlight 3.
I used these two as my primary references. http://vimeo.com/10781314 / http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465326.aspx
I've tried several ways..
1. Overriding my Connection Setting using Transform Replace, match on name
2. Just using Insert in the Release.Config with no setting in the Main Web.Config.
Both ways DO work on Publish, but neither work in VS. # 1 shows the original when I'm just trying to run from VS and # 2 Crashes on this line string scontest = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBTest"].ToString();
Here is my Main Web.config for try # 2
<connectionStrings>
<!--<add name="DBTest"connectionString="Server=MAINWEBCONIFGBox; Database=personal; User; password=P@ssw0rd" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />-->
</connectionStrings>
Web.Release.Config for try # 2
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DBTest"
connectionString="Server=RELBox; Database=personal; User Id=admin; password=StagingPersonalPassword"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</connectionStrings>

I am attempting to setup Config Transforms on my project that I migrated to VS 2010. The web project works just fine, but I have a WCF Host project that I seem to be unable to add transforms.
Has anyone had this problem before?

When my Web.config transforms it is adding a new line before the end value tag in my ApplicationSettings. This new line is showing up in the setting and causing an exception. Example:
Web.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>
Web.Debug.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
<value>c:path</value>
</setting>
Published Web.config:
<setting name="FilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>c:path
</value>
</setting>
The end value tag being on its own line is causing problems. Does anyone know how to get it to stop doing this?

I work in an development group in an enterprise, where we strive to seperate business units and their responsibilities. So for example, I am in the development group and we are responsible for all tasks related to developing applications. We have other roles such as dbas, or operational roles that are outside of our group and are responsible for things like deployment, server maintenance, etc.
I'm looking at features in VS such as the publish web app feature and the web.config transform feature and reading about them in blogs and various other places. Based on the majority of what I read it always seems that the writer is assuming that the developer is managing things like connection strings, user names, passwords for the different environments in web config transforms, then publishing to a remove server in some kind of production environment (be it live, or test or staging, etc).
An example is here. In our environment, and I assume others too, the scenario is somewhat more complex than is usually portrayed. The development group may not know where any of what they've developed is deployed. And administrators may move servers,databases etc and update configuration as characteristics of the environment dictate. So in these cases, how does web.config transforms help? Publish can still potentially be used locally to build artifacts for a deployment package but even you'd probably want to use some automated build manager instead.
So is publish and transforms really more suited for more rudimentary development processes where the barrier between development and operations is very grey? Or am I missing something? It just seems that a lot of things I've reading about this kind of thing have good intentions but are somewhat superficial in the context of a more defined development process.
Interested to know others opinions and experiences on this.

Does anyone no why web.config transforms are not available for Web Site Projects in VS2010. I thought that Web Site Projects where once introduced as the successor of Web Application Projects. But now the lack the deployment feature which I would really like to use.
Maybe someone knows a workaround, without having to convert 70 websites? Converting to Web Application Projects isn't a real option because I use Table Profile Provider by Hao Kong, which doesn't work with this type of project.

Today I started playing with the web.config transforms in VS 2010. To begin with, I attempted the same hello world example that features in a lot of the blog posts on this topic - updating a connection string.
I created the minimal example shown below (and similar to the one found in this blog). The problem is that whenever I do a right-click -> "Publish", or a right-click -> "Build Deployment Package" on the .csproj file, I'm not getting the correct output. Rather than a transformed web.config, I'm getting no web.config, and instead the two transform files are included.
What am I doing wrong?

I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.

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;

While using a third party dll I was getting the following exception - "exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe" with following trace
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfigurationImpl(ConfigurationFileMap fileMap, Boolean isMachine, ConfigurationUserLevel userLevel, String exePath).
The reason I found was that it was looking for app.config and I had provided the details in web.config. My question is why does the system.configuration differentiate between web.config and app.config.

I upgrade my application from .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0. Everything went smooth, with very few errors. Now the code is compiling fine, but run time environment is loading the configuration parameters from app.config instead of web.config;Here is my setup:Objects project: has app.configUI project: has web.config, When I run this site, it is fetching the configuration parameters from app.config. Any idea if I need to make any changes to read it from web.config instead of app.config? It used to work fine in my previous environment.

Web.config is the main settings and configuration file for an ASP.NET web application. The file is an XML document that defines configuration information regarding the web application. The web.config file contains information that control module loading, security configuration, session state configuration, and application language and compilation settings. Web.config files can also contain application specific items such as database connection strings
Example 1:
<!-- This is an example Web.config file -->
[Code]....
In this article, we will see how to read the configuration settings in the web.config using 'JavaScript'.
Step 1: Create a new ASP.NET website. Add a button control to the Default.aspx.
Step 2: Right click the project > Add New Item > Web Configuration File
Add the following sample entry to the appSettings section in the web.config between the <configuration> tag as shown in the example 1:
<add key="var1" value="SomeValue"/>
Step 3: To read these entries using JavaScript, add the following script in the <head> tag of your Default.aspx page as shown below:
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ReadConfigSettings()
{
var v1 = '<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["var1"].ToString() %>'
alert(v1);
}
</script>
</head>
Step 4: Call this function on a button click and display the values of the configuration settings
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick="ReadConfigSettings();" />
That's it. Run the application and click the button. The value of the key in the appSettings will be displayed in the alert window. I hope you liked this short article.

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 using Session to pass data from one page to another. The data contains HTML and when I display it in the other page, I see that it's different. This is how I put data in Session:
Session["omschrijving"] = Server.UrlEncode(lblOmschrijving.Text);
ftbOmschrijving.Text = (string)Session["omschrijving"];

I've been searching around on a way to use the new features of web deployment in VS2010, namely the transformations for config files, but everything I reference just says "right-click on web.config and add config transforms".Is it possible to do config transforms (and get all of the other publish goodness) in a 3.5 ASP.Net MVC project in VS2010? Is it just an msbuild file?

I have an website in IIS 6.0 (windows 2003). Inside that I had configured another application (As IIS Application).
Now, When I uncommend a "add verb" tag in main web.config file, the webservice inside the application throws "404 file not found exception" Is there anything which I need to update in child web.config?
