View 1 RepliesDoes 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.
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 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.
I have something like this in mind:
<appSettings>
<add key="ConfigName" value="configuration" culture="1033" />
<add key="ConfigName" value="konfiguracja" culture="1045" />

i need add one key value in web.config and that values read in asp.net page and to bind that value to gridview?
View 1 RepliesI am just a beginner in the world of programming and I need to work on the following requirement:
My project contains web.config file and an external appSettings file. I am making a WebConfig Editor that has options to Read AppSettings key from web.config and external appSetting file to display them on webPage. Also, I am allowing user to delete any key by clicking on Remove button. Moreover, user can also update any key's value by clicking on update button.Or he can also insert new key by clicking on Add New Key button.
The key issue I am facing is that whenfever I try to add a new key , it gets inserted into web.config file as expected , but at the same time it adds all the keys present in external appSettings file into web.config ( which is abrupt behavior). How to stop this migration of keys from external appSettings file to web.config on any key's update / delete/ add function?

This is the case where I need encryption for my password. I searched and googled much on the web but I can't be able to encrypt anymore.
I fully followed the steps in this page [URL]
look at the step 5 at "Using the Example Provider in an ASP.NET Application" element , I entered the command "
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SessionState" -prov "TripleDESProvider"
" at the windows command line, it asked me "The protection provider 'TripleDESProvider' was not found"
I make sure the files keys.snk and keys.txt are in the same folder and the file web.config is correct. Who can tell me the reason for the error and how do I handle with it?
I have a DataGrid that I need to be able to use to delete records form a file
[Code]....
[Code]....
I use
((TextBox)GridMenuOptions.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[1].Controls[0]).Text;
To access the data in the Grid for updating, but it doesn't work for deleting
I can use
string id = GridMenuOptions.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
but that only returns the first key.
How do I access the rest of the keys?

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 ?
I have a web.config in a sub directory with an appSetting in it. It does not seem to be picked up and added to the appSettings collection? what I'm doing wrong or how to get round setting directory specific settings?

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?
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'm trying to encrypt the connection strings in my web.config. I'm following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2w117ede.aspx
however when I get to the part with the command:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/MyApplication" -prov "MyProvider"
it keeps complaining:
"The configuration for the virtual path '/MyApplication' and site 'Default Web Site' cannot be opened
Failed to map the path '/myapplication'
Failed!
I'm fairly sure I've followed the instructions correctly. I created the project named 'MyApplication' directly in the 'C:' root.
Perhaps I should be following a different set of instructions?
