ConfigurationManager.AppSettings Returns Null When Web.config Is Placed In Parent Dir
Jan 5, 2011
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.

I'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.

I 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 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 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 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.

The other day I came across an alternative way of accessing web.config configuration in some article. It allowed to:provide path to web.config file modify web.config configuration at runtime like:config.MySetting = "new value";load web.config from another web application in the same IIS (I'm not sure about it)work with configuration using class instance instead of static ConfigurationManager class

[Code]....
</script>
In the span's onclick handler i wrote "javascript: alert(getAppSetting('ftpuser'));" for testing, and built some alerts into the function. The first alert returns [object]. That's nice, i thought. The second alert returned 0. That's strange, because the web.config has exactly 1 of this node. So i guess that the function doesn't actually load the correct document. Has anyone done something similar ? When i don't suppy a full path, doesn't javascript assume that it should look for the file in the virtual directory of the current web application where the web.config is ?

given that I can add various addributes to the stock membership provider I assume I can do the same with my own provider implementation.
<add name="MyMembershipProvider" type="Portal.Infrastructure.MyMembershipProvider"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
[...] />
My question now: How do I access these values in the code? I understand that the ConfigurationManager can be used to access key value pairs in the appSettings section but this is different.

I've got some custom values in the AppSettings, in my web.config file.
These values get checked upon every Request.
eg.
So if every request checks the web.config file for the value of this key, would be be smart to put this into the Application cache (eg. via the global.asax) instead of checking this value EVERY request?
I'm assuming that when we read a value from the AppSettings, the website does a physical read of the web.config file? or is this information also all read into Memory when the website starts up and all references to any appSettings information is just an inmemory read .. not a disk I/O read?

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.

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 am running into a problem with a web.config in a child project that has the same connection string setting as a parent. We have this in several of our web apps but there is one case where we want a child not to use the parent web.config. Is there a setting or command in the child web.config to ignore the parent web.config?

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?

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 have a very strange issue where SelectionList always returns NULL when i try check its Selected Item/Value. I Googled a bit and I found out that when i click the submit button, the page is being refreshed and the SelectionList is being data bound again so it will revert back to its original behavior.
Then i tried enclosing the binding code in the Page_Load event in a !IsPostBack but still when i try to access the Selected property it is null and an exception is thrown.
My code goes something like this... (the braces are not matched properly)
static SelectionList[] Symptoms;
static string UserID = "";
cmbSymptoms1,cmbSymptoms2,cmbSymptoms3 and cmbSymptoms4 are SelectionLists. I took them in to an array of SelectionList and then set the properties.
I had to make them static or else when i click the button to update, they will not retain their values.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.IsPostBack == false)
{
//System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Not IsPostBack");
if (Request.QueryString["id"] != null && Request.QueryString.ToString() != "")
{
//System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("id query string is not null :- " + Request.QueryString["id"]);
myclass = new Class1();...........
