Read Environment Variables In Web.config?
Feb 18, 2010
Is there a way write code in web.config file using preprocessed function. Say I created environment variables like %Temp%, %WINDIR%. order to read these I can use the configurationManager class. But I dont want to use it. I woudl like to use a preprocessed function similar to timeStampPattern="{timestamp(local)}". Here timestamp(local) retrieves the value directly. So in a similar way can i read the environment variables %temp% and %windir% using preprocessed function if any exists?

if using session variables to store and retrieve information is a bad practice? Let me give you some background:
I am developing a site for a friend of mine, and his site is hosted by Go-Daddy. My feeling is that Go-Daddy is not the best place to host a .NET site, but it is what it is.
After the first version of the site was published and people started using it, users immediately started having session time-out problems and null exceptions when referencing session variables. I researched everything I could and tried everything I could think to do, but I just could not correct the issue.
Then, while doing some testing, I discovered that users weren't individually timing-out and losing their session information, but, rather, all users where timing out at exactly the same time, regardless of how long they had been logged in or what they were doing. So, for whatever reason, the server was just dumping all sessions at random intervals.
At this point I needed to move on with the project so I added a number of cookies to replace the session variables, and everything began working properly.
in a hosted environment, should I avoid using session variables? Is it as problamatic as my research and experience would indicate, or is this simply due to the fact that I am working with a poor hosting company in Go-Daddy?

I have an intranet ASP.NET web application in which I need to get the IP of the client's machine. I do this vis the following code:
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables.Item("REMOTE_HOST")
It used to work when my ASP.NET site was only hosted on a single server. However once we got the load balancer installed and migrated our apps to a web farm, the code above returns the IP of the Load Balancer device and not of the client anymore.
I am working with the networking folks to determine what can be configured differently with the load balancer, but in the meantime I was wondering if there was another way I could get the client's IP other than using that IIS Server Variable?

We 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.

I have an asp.net 2.0 website. I have an appsetting in the web.config to point to which environment I am in (Dev, QA, Production). Each environment has it's own web reference for calling web services to get data.I currently have all 3 web references added to the project at the same time and manually change the name of the current environment I want to use. Is there a way I can use the appsetting environment variable I have setup to decide which web reference to use? Does anybody have an example or can point me in the right direction to get started?

I have some inherited code which stores SMTP server, username, password in the system.net/mailSettings/smtp section of the Web.config.
It used to read them like so:
Configuration c = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
MailSettingsSectionGroup settings = (MailSettingsSectionGroup)c.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");
return settings.Smtp.Network.Host;
But this was failing when I had to deploy to a medium trust environment. So following the answer from this question, I rewrote it to use GetSection() like so:
SmtpSection settings = (SmtpSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp"); return settings.Network.Host;
But it's still giving me a SecurityException on Medium trust, with the following message:

My problem is that I'm going to have a SQL Server database and website that accesses that database via a hosting provider, most likely GoDaddy.com, using ASP.Net. I need to make sure the connection string in the web.config file is as secure as possible, because the database will actually be storing trivia questions for a game I'm developing, and the clients will be accessing these questions, saving specific state related details, and other details, to the database, so every player that plays the game will have their details stored in this database. I need to ensure hacking is very difficult to accomplish.
From my research it appears as though the only viable solution for your web.config when you've got a hosting account with something like GoDaddy.com is to use SQL Server security to connect to your SQL Server database and place those details in the web.config file. Is this correct? It seems that this is the most likely scenario for most users, because we don't have access to our hosting providers IIS servers in order to use Windows authentication with SQL Server access and then use DPAPI encryption from there.

I have just ported my VS2008 development environment to a new computer running Windows 7. One roadblock I'm having is that when I edit machine.config in VS2008, I cannot save it back to its location - I get an error saying Access Denied. I am logged in as Administrator and have tried to set myself up as owner but the crazy security rules in Windows 7 are frustrating this operation. (I could do this on my previous system - VS2008 running XP.) I set the Administrators permissions to Full Control and made this file's owner Administrators (vs the previous SYSTEM)

I'm working on different windows machines and virtual windows machines on a mac. I have a project wich uses SQL server and AD for autentication.
Right now I have to be connected to VPN so that the asp.net web application can connect to AD using LDAP string to autentivate users, I also have the SQL server on the other side of the VPN connection.
Is there any way to setup my enviroment so that I can work locally without the AD, and on a local SQL server and be able to publish the project without manually changing the web.config file?

I would like to have a variable defined in my web.config that I can use in multiple places within my web.config file (and other config files). It's probably easier to explain by example
web.config
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="AuthServiceEndPoint" value="any_old_name_i_like"/>
</appSettings>
<system.web>

I did a couple google searches about this and am not finding anything, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm working on our internal CMS and I noticed that we're getting live data back when doing debugging because of our web services instead of the dev data that I wanted. It doesn't do this on our dev CMS website, but we're trying to do all our development on localhost. Is there any way to set up an environment variable in our web config for the URL so that the CMS points to the dev database instead of live database that is referenced in the wsdl files?

When the user clicks on it, another .aspx page should pop up. I used the code below and it works fine. But when we deploy this .aspx page, the IP address of the target IIS server will be different. So I am thinking of saving the IP address of target IIS server in web.config file and load it into the Window.open method of Javascript code (below).Qusetion 1: Is that right way to do? If so, how I can read web.config file from Javascript?
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function open_win() {
window.open("http://10.999.1.86/WebUI/HistoricalRuns.aspx", "_blank", "toolbar=no, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, width=1000, height=500");
