View 3 RepliesI'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).

View 1 RepliesI 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:

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).

View 1 RepliesI 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).
