View 1 RepliesI'm new to java and android, originally from an asp.net/c# background.I am looking for a config file in java, similar to the webconfig of app config with .net but there doesn't seem to be one.
View 3 RepliesI have few settings which I could place in a separate XML file and have them accessed in the Web app. Then I thought (thinking of one additional file to deploy), why not have them in the web.config itself. However, just because I need to have custom nodes, I can not have the settings under . So, I am thinking of creating a custom config handler following this. Would that be better than having a separate XML file? Is It going to be an overkill or performance wise? Is there a better way to go?
View 1 RepliesDoes 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 have created a webservice, which debugs fine with no errors, and published this on my localhost server for testing.
I have created a windows app which calls the webservice but am hitting problems as soon as I reach the point where the webservice tries to connect to its database.
The connectionstring is held within the web.config file of the webservice as
>><connectionStrings>
<add name="MyConnectionName" providerName="System.Data.ProviderName" connectionString="server=MyServerName; database=MyDataBaseName;uid=MyUser;pwd=MyPassword;"/>
</connectionStrings>
and called within the code by using the statement
>> System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionName"].ConnectionString
, and as I said before, this works perfectly when debugging the webservice application directly.
However, the windows application is not seeing the connection properly, if I use the statement as above I get a debug error stating that it is a NULL reference. If I change it to
>> System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString
I no longer get a debug error, but the connection is not made. On testing the above code it believes the name for connection 0 is "localSqlServer" and in both the web app and the webservice the error below is returned.
>>An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file \MyServerMyDirectoryMyProjectMyProjectApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
why the windows application see's the correct connection string code as null? Is there additional security I need to add for the web.config file to be accessible? Or does the connection strings need to be relicated within the app.config of the windows app?
Both applications are written in C# and I use Visual Studio 2010, ASP.Net version 4.0.30319
I have to duplicate some settings (like connection string) between a web.config file that a WCF host uses and a web.config file that a web client uses.
In the interest of not duplicating, can I have both the web.configs read from a separate xml file? The two web.configs can be entirely in different solutions/projects so I guess this is not possible, but wanted to get other's opinion.
PS: I do understand I can use a database to store all the config settings.
I want to maintain different user authorization lists for different environments. I know that connectionstrings can be broken out in an external file with configSource, but how would I do this for the following?
<authorization>
<allow users="someuser1"/>
<allow users="someuser2"/>
<allow users="someuser3"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
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).
App works well on local intranet, but having problema on external access?

View 6 RepliesWe 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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,

Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.
I have a Windows Service I have developed in Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDatabase"].ConnectionString
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
I have tried a bunch of different permissions on the machine.config and its containing folders, and setting the service to log in as Admin, but I don't know exactly what permissions are required.
I have a database on Go Daddy and my VS2008 app can not access it via web.config connection string. Of course runs great locally in development. I copy/pasted the connection string information from Go Daddy exactly into my web.config file. Web site runs fine on the web but when I try to Login at my login page, i get :The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.
I used VS2008 to create the .sql script files and uploaded them to Go Daddy and the Go Daddy people say everything works as they and I can both Login to the database from within GoDaddy.The database i am trying to access consists of the a ASPNETDB.mdf and another Database.mdf together as one in the Go Daddy database.
here is what i used: <connectionStrings><add

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:
<location path="myfile.pdf">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="admin"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
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:
I can not access : [URL]
but I can view : [URL]
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.
