I have downloaded template for my web site and made it a master page after few weeks I have started my work on it but now it is giving me error.
Sections must only appear once per config file. See the help topic <location> for exceptions.
and showing that line 69 this error is in the given below code.

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 RepliesWe have a scenario using asp.net Forms Authentication in a web farm and need to setup identical <machinekey /> sections on each servers .config file.
Is it better to store the <machinekey /> section in machine.config rather then web.config? what's the advantages and disadvantages of each approach concerning security?
<machineKey validationKey="[keyhere]"
decryptionKey="[keyhere]" validation="SHA1" />
If its not secure enough, is there any way to encrypt <machinekey /> section like we encrypt our connectionsstring (with DPAPI)? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998280.aspx)
The below is the custom config files
<Test>
<testA att1="A" att2="B" att3="C"/>
<testB att1="A" att2="B" att3="C"/>
</Test>
If I send testA then the class will return all testA attributes i.e att1, att2 and att3 values.
testA, testB will vary.. that means in future we will add another two tags i.e testC, testD and so on.
My application will be returned all the attributes based on my inout (testA...).
I used the article Creating a Flexible Configuration Section Handler to create a Flexible Configuration Section Handler in my application.
I also saw this article entitled Encrypting Custom Configuration Sections on the OdeToCode blog, on how to encrypt portions of a web.config file.
From the first article, we have this web.config code.

My problem is I need to run this in IIS. What is stopping me? It's a permission problem, but what permission. I am running IIS 7.5 on Windows 7. This is happening on my production server as well. Same error.
I would like to encrypt the connectionstrings section in my web.config file using the : ASPNET_REGIIS utility However I'm running Windows 7 pro, that is without any IIS.
Is it possible for me to do it.
The path (on my local pc) to the website containing the web.config file is like this:
C:UsersmyUserDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsmyWebsitemyWebsiteWeb.config
I'm trying to programmatically encrypt the connectingstrings section of my web.config, using the below code, which I have gotten from here.

Has I understand is the section should be encrypted, but it never happens.
If application is started without debugging - it runs smoothly, when I press F5 I get: "Unable to start debugging on the web server. Could not start ASP.NET debugging. More information may be available by starting the project without debugging. Click Help for more information"I noticed that problems are caused by URL Rewrite section in web.config:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="LowerCaseRule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="[A-Z]" ignoreCase="false" />
when I comment it out - I can start debugging. Also debugging works on VS's built-in web server.I'm running Win7 64 bit, VS 2010, application's framework is 4.0, in IIS application has ASP.NET 4.0 Intergrated pool set
I have one doubt Can we access one web.config file to another web.config file in asp.net
View 6 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).
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?

View 10 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?

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...
