I want to use the setting stored in the web.config file in my vb code, but don't know how to reference them.
More specifically I want to access the Host name, username and password in the smtp settings to send an email. My web.config is

I have some pages that need user to sign in. If not, I need to redirect user to signin page. I know this can be done by using some code like"<system.web><authorization><deny users="?"/></authorization></system.web>" in web.config.
But can I just write some code to do the same function?
like in page load method, I can check whether user is sign in, if user is not signed in yet, how can I redirect user to the login page by using code? and how can I stop sending the content of the page to user?
<configuration>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp
from="user@user.com">
<network
host="smtp.server.com"
password="password"
userName="username" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
</configuration>
How can I call the "host"setting from the App.config file in my C# code?
I have tried this but it does not work.
SmtpClient mailClient =
new SmtpClient(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["network"]);
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?
View 4 RepliesI would like to set a value:
[code]....
...where [HERE] is the placeholder for my value, from my code behind in ASP.NET before the page is rendered. I generate a guid, and I need that apart of the script on the page.
I have been trying to set the value of a hidden input by using Javascript and then access the value from within my C# codebehind. When I run the code that is copied below, the value that is assigned to assignedIDs is "", which I assume is the default value for a hidden input. If I manually set the value in the html tag, then assignedIDs is set to that value.
This behavior suggests to me that the value of the input is being reset (re-rendered?) between the onClientClick and onClick events firing.

I want to know what best practice is for accessing settings in config file when you have dev/test/production types.
If you have different config for each type when you publish a ASP.NET website doesn't the config get copied as well??
VB.NET 2.0, windows forms applications. I have two applications, A and B. A accesses a remote Oracle database already, B needs to access a different database, but also Oracle, from the same outside source.So, I thought it would be easy; copy code to connect, change the query, and off we go. But I keep getting the old ORA-12154 error that it can't resolve the connect identifier.First, I developed the query usng sql plus connecting to the target database. So, I know the machine has appropriate entries in tnsnames.ora.Second, I cut-and-pasted the block of code from B into A and gave A a test. It successfully connects and runs the query. So, I know that the data source, user id, password and sql are o.k.Third, I looked in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREOracle) and found the all ORACLE_HOME paths that were set up. Went down all those paths to insure the tnsnames file had my new connection defined.Fourth, I'm able to find the database B is trying to get to via tnsping from the command prompt.Fifth, I copied the connection string from A to B, just to see if it could connect to the database A is known to connect to. Same exception.So, everything connects everywhere except B, who cannot get to Oracle at all. I just can't find what's telling B to use a different tnsnames file (maybe?).Missing something obvious, no doubt.[Edit]I realized overnight I hadn't shown how I was connecting. (The exception is thrown trying to open the connection.) Pretty simple:

we were all recently alerted by scottgu with this security vulnerability. [URL] I'm wondering, since I've been redirecting errors via Global.asax on the Application_Error event, I was wondering if that can suffice the fix for this issue or do I still need to place a setting on the web.config?
View 1 RepliesI have one requirement that i have to place the log file in the same directory of solution. That is my solution is placed in [drive]workProject1solution file. But i have to create my log file to [drive]workProject1Loglog.log. How it can be set in app.config file.
View 1 RepliesThis might sound a bit dumb. I always had this impression that web.config should store all settings which are suspect to change post-build and setting.settings should have the one which may change pre-build.but I have seen projects which had like connection string in setting.settings. Connection Strings should always been in web.config, shouldnt it?I am interested in a design perspective answer.Just a bit of background:My current scenario is that I am developing a web application with all the three tiers abstracted in three separate visual studio projects thus every tier has its own .settings and .config file.
View 2 RepliesI'm using a flash app to upload images (EAFlashUpload - http://www.easyalgo.com/eaflashupload.aspx) which works great, but there's a problem.For reasons beyond my understanding, if a theme (page theme = "white") is declared in the web.config, it doesn't work correctly; even if there is nothing in the theme folder at all! Oddly though, it's happy if the theme is set at the page level. Problem is, I don't want to have to hard code the page theme into every page. Is there another place I can set the page theme? I've tried in the code behind of the master page (pre_int), and also adding a web user control with some code behind to the master page.
View 7 RepliesHow can I change an application setting within a web.copnfig programmatically with C# (from another application, which configures the web-application)?
The following code snipped doesn't work, because AppSettings[...] is readonly!
configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(...);
ConfigurationSectionGroup configurationSectionGroup = (ConfigurationSectionGroup)configuration.GetSectionGroup("applicationSettings");
ConfigurationSection configurationSection = (ConfigurationSection)configurationSectionGroup.Sections[...];
configurationSection.CurrentConfiguration.AppSettings[...].value = value
I have a generic handler in which I fill up a Session variable. I implemented the IRequiresSessionState interface, so it shouldn't be a problem.
In a given page, I want to display that value, but it seems like the value is always empty. Is it because the session that is accessed and written to in the handler isn't the same one that is used on this page?
In the handler, I used context.Session["EID"] = "somevalue";
edit: i found out what the issue is but I do not know how to solve it. It's because I have this Java applet which reads out an eID, calls the handler to store the data, but the session used by the applet is not the same as the session used by the browser... so how could I exchange this data in a safe way?
Here is what im trying to do I want to, from my c# code-behind, get the code between 2 <asp:Content> tags that are located in one of my .apsx pages.
View 8 RepliesTo give some background details, I have created a website for a friend that has a few pages that require a database in the background. I've used Visual Studio templates for most of it, so there's the standard ASPNETDB.MDF file that's created for users and groups, a login page and a page to view and manage those users etc etc. The login page uses the standard controls for logging in, retrieving lost passwords and so on. Being standard controls, by default they get the connection string from the web.config file. Upon attempting to upload the site to my host (1and1.co.uk in case anyone else has any dealings with them) I discovered that storing the connectionstring doesn't work. 1and1 support say that the sql databases can only be accessed using scripts like this (this is an example of theirs):
<html>
<title>Queries from the MS-SQL database with ASP</title>
<body bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<h2>Query from table <b>products</b> with ASP</h2>
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=mssqxxx.1and1.com;UID=dboxxxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DATABASE=dbxxxxxxxxx"
'This code block will create a recordset
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
SQL = "select * from products"
rs.open SQL, conn
'will iterate to display the records got from the database
While Not rs.EOF
response.write(rs("id") & " " & rs("price"))
rs.MoveNext
Wend
'closes the connection
rs.close
conn.close
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
So my question, is it possible to get the standard asp.net controls to access a database through a script like this?
I have a Silverlight control that is hosted within an ASP.NET application. The Silverlight control has a web service reference. The URL of this service is going to vary when we install the application for our customers. I need a way to be able to change this web service reference URL from within the web.config of the ASP.NET application. How can I do this?
View 2 RepliesI 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?

I'm having some trouble setting the ExecutionTimeout element in my applications web.config. My page is making a lengthy webservice call and times out after 110 seconds. (the default I believe). I set the value to 220, and make sure the compilation debug=false.
Does the compilation setting refer to when IIS/ASP.net compiles the ASPX pages when a client requests them, or does it refer to the visual studio compile process there the assemblies are created. Would using an assembly built using debug in visual studio still allow the above settings to work?
A client is unable to use my webpart because he is behind a proxy server and they need to specify a username and password to get past the proxy. I have this in my config file right now:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" bypassonlocal="True" />
</defaultProxy>

Is there a way to supply a username and password to this proxy setting?
