View 10 Repliesi 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.
Does 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.
I have splitted the appSettings from web.config file and put it under 'App_ConfigappSettings.config' which is mapped using configSource attribute.web.config :

It is working fine in my local machine. But giving problem while hosting the application to web server.i.e, Can not find appsettings
I should store application configuration data and default text values that will have the best performance overall. For example, I've been sticking stuff like default URL values and the default text for error messages or application instructions inside the web.config, but now I'm wondering if that will scale...
View 4 RepliesI am retrieving value from webconfig file.
PriceCode = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[d.PriceCode].ToString() == "" ? "XXXX" : ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[d.PriceCode].ToString(),
if the value is found its fine, but if the value is not found in webconfig file an exception is thrown... why is that?
I have a web.config file with the key "mailTo" This contains multiple comma delimited email addresses.
I want to loop through these values addig the to a collection in c# but it treat is as one string rather than multiple string.

I've got some question about two ways to save settings in the web.config.
Appsettings:
Look in web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="key1" value="value1"/>
<add key="key2" value="value2"/>
</appSettings>
Usage in code-behind:
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key1"];
ApplicationSettings/ Properties (autogenerated by using the 'properties'-tab in the project)
Look in web.config
<applicationSettings>
<Projectname.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Testenvironment" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
</Projectname.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
Usage:
Properties.Settings.Default.Testenvironment
So, what the difference between these two storage possibilities of settings in the web.config? As far as I can see, a downside of the appSettings is that you have modify the web.config yourself and the appSettings are not strong tiped, where as the applicationSettings are. Both are replaceable with in a web deployment project.As far as I am concerned, there is no use for appSettings. Am I missing something here? Which is the historically seen older one?
I have settings in AppSettings (web.config) and I need to pass them to an external javascript file.
In ASP.NET I would think of an ASHX handler to write the javascript file to the response replacing placeholders with the settings values.
I have something like this in mind:
<appSettings>
<add key="ConfigName" value="configuration" culture="1033" />
<add key="ConfigName" value="konfiguracja" culture="1045" />

How to Encrypt App Settings in Web Config file in asp .net
View 1 Repliesi 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 Replies Can anyone tell me the differnce between
System.web.httpcontext.current.application["tag"]
or
System.Configuration.Appsettings["tag"]
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've set an AppSetting key for my root directory in my web.config file and now I'm going back through my site and changing all link and resources to use this key. Then If the domain ever changes I can just change one line of code and not worry about links breaking. I'm not quite sure however how to use this when I register my header and footer user controls.
View 2 RepliesASP.NET 3.5 Classes throughout our solution referenced ConfigurationManater.AppSettings[""] to get appSettings (from web.config).
We decided we weren't happy with that. Folks were mistyping appSetting key names in code (which compiled fine), and it was cumbersome to track usages. And then there's the duplicated strings throughout the codebase as you reference the same appSettings all over the place.
So, we decided that only one class would be allowed to reference the ConfigurationManager, and the rest of the solution would reference that class when it needed the value of a certain appSetting. ConfigurationManater.AppSettings[""] was static, so we exposed a bunch of static read-only properties off of our single Settings class.
[Code].....
And now we're injecting the ISettings instance as a dependency of the objects which use settings values (the class/interface are in a project that everyone can reference without problems).
In places where we can't inject an existing instance (e.g. Global.asax), we construct a new instance into a static field.
Given all of that, what would you recommend we change, and why?
in one of the application i have been reffering connection string is stored in appsettings! till now i have been storeing the connection in <connectionstring/> element. But, what is the correct way?
So my quetion is, What is the differences between <connectionstring> and <appsettings> in web.config, are there any specific reason why i should or should not be storing connection string in appsettings? Are there any rules / guidlines provided to follow? Or is this completely the choice of the developer?
I am using MS Test to test one of my controller's actions. This method uses the ConfigurationManger to read appSettigns from the web.config. For some reason ConfigurationMangager is not able to find the appsettings.In NUNIT I would just make sure to add a copy of the webconfig file to the test project so that it is available when running in that context. However this is not working for me.
View 1 RepliesFor each appSetting I use, I want to specify a value that will be returned if the specified key isn't found in the appSettings. I was about to create a class to manage this, but I'm thinking this functionality is probably already in the .NET Framework somewhere?
Is there a NameValueCollection/Hash/etc-type class in .NET that will let me specify a key and a fallback/default value -- and return either the key's value, or the specified value?
If there is, I could put the appSettings into an object of that type before calling into it (from various places).
i did not realize that: i have a web.config in a separate class library and i was reading the web.config appsetting from different web applicaiton.
i am using VS2010 target framework 3.5
i dont know what is wrong here but i am getting null when i try to get

{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StoreId"];
}
}
<appSettings>
<add key="StoreId" value="123" />
