Are there any apps that can show the final configuration as applied to a particular application directory? What I'm picturing is something along the lines of FireBug's CSS viewer.
Basically, it should show the equivalent single web.config file (as if you only had one), with all the values that apply to the directory in question, with each element (or even attribute) annotated with its source (the real .config file it came from).
deploying applications into foreign environments (eg, customer sites) where they sometimes have strange configs, that add in global includes (eg, they put the include in machine.config, instead of the web.config for that app) or have allowOverride=false, etc.
I am using VS2005 and I have a solution file (.SLN) which has 8 projects. I moved the solution file to a different path on a shared folder to have better organization of my projects and to allow access to the solution/projects from any computer on the network. After that, I edited the .SLN file so that the path of the projects in the solution file are correct (all on shared folders).
After that, I opened the .SLN and everything seemd to be working fine. However, I notcied that the "Start Options" of the website part of the solution file is missing the "Start Options", ie, the Start Options are reset to default values. I think also, but not sure, some other settings of the Solution/Projects have been reset.
Questions:
1. Where the Web Site "Start Options" are stored ?
2. How I can maintain the Start Options and similar settings if the .SLN file is moved or opened from different computers on the network ?
3. I am not using an team development tools, only plain (vanilla) VS 2005 Prof. Edition. Is it possible to have 2 or more developers work on the same solution/projects (shared on the network), if both developers will coordinate manually simultanous access to the porject files/resources/source code ?
I've managed (after much difficulty) to get to the second step of the installation of Umbraco CMS onto my local machine. I'm getting this error when I try to move onto the next step: "Could not save the web.config file. modify the connection string manually. Access to the path 'c:inetpubwwwrootUmbracoumbraco1web.config' is denied."
I've tried setting Read and Write permissions on the web.config file, the umbraco1 folder AND the Umbraco folder, but nothing, same error. Restarted IIS, rebooted, still no change. I've manually changed the web.config app key which it's trying to update, but there's no way to proceed on to the next step. There's obviously some random permission thing that I'm not doing properly, but I can't find it. On a slight tangent, when I try to open the Permissions wizard, nothing happens - I want to scream. I'm running IIS 6
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).
Currently, 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 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. <configuration>
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?

I just followed this example to bootstrap WCF with StructureMap. At the same time I've been using StructureMap in my ASP.NET application (IIS6), which is initialized in Global.asax.Application_Start().The two configurations have different requirements. Unfortunately, StructureMap is configured statically, and contrary to my expectations it's shared between the web app and WCF. As a result, the last "Initialize()" called wins!
Is it possible to give each one its own configuration? Or is the only solution to fold them together?
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.
I have an asp.net application which uses session for user management. So if the application is restarted users will loose their works. I have some components used by this asp.net application and those components (class libraries in Bin folder) have configurations. I want to save configurations of those components somewhere and change them from back-end (administration panel) and the components use the updated configs but still application should not be restarted (changing web.config will result in application restart).
I thought about saving all sessions variables to hiddens and then resaving those values back into session after I changed the web config..but there has GOT to be another way.
Can someone show me what I need to do to allow cookies: I have this code after I "authenticate" the user (my own Login Control, & code to authenticate). If the user checks the "Remember Me" checkbox I am trying to set a cookie with this:
// add 1 month DateTime expireDate = currentDate.AddMonths(1); // set the cookie HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("LithoUserName");
When I go to retrieve the cookie the value is not there. It worked once, then I closed the browser and it disappeared (the cookie was no longer there).I went to GMail & there cookie worked so I am pretty sure the problem is my web.config, but most of the examples for Forms Authentication want you to "authenticate" with Forms Authentication, all I need is for cookies to work. I was able to do this real easy 12 years ago in Class Asp using Visual Interdev, & thought that product sucked compared to Visual Studio 2008 today, but if progress makes a cookie not work then something is wrong. This is not a bank site, or a matter of a life or death, it is just a time saver to sign someone in.
It 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 am creating the user ,using asp.net + C#.there is the form (UI) who collects the information and send data to Business layer. now, while collecting the information from UI I want to also save the image of user, at file system in application domain.There is function in the business layer as SaveImage, which returns the path where it is saving. Scenario:1) Save image first and then save other information in DB.
