We developed an application to edit the web.config settings. The user has to locate the web.config file which they like to edit. Once their task is completed they can download the web.config file with the changes made by them. Since the web.config file has the database server information and passwords I have a concern that will it cause any security problem.

I am developing web applicaiton. I want to read web.config in App.config file. I have appSettings and connectionStrings in web.config. How to read that?
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to use the following command:
Dim xmlFilePath As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XmlFilePath")
to retrieve the following setting:
<applicationSettings>
<MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
<setting name="XmlFilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>C:ASP.NETFolderMessageLog</value>
</setting>
</MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
</applicationSettings>
However, xmlFilePath shows up as Nothing after that line of code is run. What's the correct code to get a setting out of the web.config file in an ASP.NET application?
NOTE: Although you can add keys individually to the <appsettings> tag, I'm trying to figure out how to use it with the "Settings" tab in the project's properties.
I have this
Code:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" executionTimeout="120"/>
in the web.config file of an application - so that file uploads of 10mb are allowed. The default - shown in the web.config.comments file - is 4096 or 4mb Today a user uploaded a file that was 4.55 mb and the app fell over. The server event log shows this warning:Post size exceeded allowed limits About 10 minutes later another email was sent with a 3.33 mb attachment. Again, it fell over and this time the server event log shows:
HttpException ... Request timed out
As it happens, on both occasions the files were uploaded to the server correctly and all the emails got sent - according to log files on the Exchange server. So, what happened? I figure I'll increase the file upload and timeout in the web.config file. Should I also increase the file upload in the web.config.comments file that affects the whole server? How do you edit the web.config.comments file? Just open it in Notepad, make the changes and save?
I want to create a generic web.config file for different web servers in VB.NET. So, depending on the server configuration requirements, applications can retrieve all values from that generic configuration file.
Is this possible? How would I do this?
I got this error in a project I did a while back. I think this was a web site project that i converted to a web app project. This was a while ago. This is an app I'm trying to run on my local machine. I'm not using IIS.
Does anyone know what this means?
Error 2
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I am trying to read a normal string from the web.config file. When I try to read a string from the web.config file the application doesnt seem to read it. I set my sqlconnection string in the web.config file. It reads a sqlconnection string but not a normal string.Here is my code:
web.config file:
<applicationSettings>
<MyApplication.Settings>
<setting name="Colour" serializeAs="String">
<value> "Red"</value>
</setting>
</MyApplication.Settings>
</applicationSettings
This is how I try to call the setting:
string strColour = Properties.Settings.Default.Colour;

I have a config file linked from web.config e.g.<features configSource="feature.config" />When I make changes to the "feature.config" file the IIS application appears to restart, is this expected behaviour?
View 1 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).
I am working on a web app that will heavily rely on configuration. The configuration is also will be written by another process or human. I am looking to get response on best practices in .net 3.5 on how to implement this case. I had used the configuration section of an early version of the Enterprise Library Applications Block. I really liked working with it but from what I hear it is discontinued in current versions. Hence the question... Need to be able to serialize collections, pick up file write event to reload new instance of config into memory.
View 1 RepliesI have one doubt Can we access one web.config file to another web.config file in asp.net
View 6 RepliesCurrently, 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 have many Connection strings in my web.config file. I also have a "dataConfiguration" setting in the same file which specifies what database my app connects to.
How do I read the "defaultDatabase" setting / section from the, see below xml file.

Is it possible to have separate config files for specific sections of the web.config? Specifically I'd like to move IIS 7's rewrite section out of the web.config and into it's own config file.

View 1 RepliesIt is known that we use web.config file to override the setting of machine.config file.
a) how come machine.config file knows that only changes made in web.config file are to be overwritten. I mean to say, if I use some other name for the config file say xyz.config, will it be able to work?
b) How does machine.config file know about web.config? Is there any link mentioned inside the machine.config file for that?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows 7. When I'm editing .aspx file VS stalls and thinks for about 3 sec every time I add a tag. Very frustrating. I'm guessing its doing some kind of compilation or checking. What can I do to make VS more responsive?

View 1 RepliesI am encrypying my .NET config file using this command and it works just fine:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SampleApplication"
For this to work though I have to have a virtual directory called SampleApplication pointing to the folder my web.config file is under.
Is there a way to just specify the path to the file and not have to have a virtual dir?
I tried with
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -location "c:FoldercontainingWebConfigFile"
but i get the error: " path attribute must be a relative virtual path". And cannot contain any of ":" "" etc...
I am looking here:
[URL]
i have two application suppose wwwroot/one and wwwroot/two.
there is one .aspx page on "one" application into which i want to get file(.xml) from application "two" and do some work on that file like save,edit,delete etc..
and than save that file into "two" application.
like
wwwroot/one/MyFile.aspx --> this is file into which i want to access aaa.xml file from application two/File where File is a folder. all file operation is here.
wwwroot/two/File/aaa.xml --> this is xml file which is reside in another application
by looking at using the XmlDocument and creating elements and attributes and then inserting them into the document. Pretty soon this looked like a massive amount of work for all the elements I have to add.What are the repercussions of treating the config file as one big long text string and doing a replace at certain points to add my entries. Something like this...
private void InsertXMLElement()
{
StringBuilder webConfig = new StringBuilder();
// get the file into a stringbuilder for manipulation
using (var sr = new StreamReader("C:web.config"))
{
webConfig.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());
