C# - Add Items To Properties.Settings At Runtime In Application?
Mar 11, 2011
I want to add an item at runtime to my global settings on an ASP.Net web application. It seems that the Properties.Settings.Default.Properties object is read-only, or at least it's Attributes are so I was trying to write directly into the web.config file. This works correctly but the stuff I found was just dropping my info into the AppSettings section, when I need it to be in the ApplicationName.Properties.Settings so it is made available through the Default.Properties object.
The code I have basically goes like this:
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/");
config.AppSettings.Add(mySettingName, myValue);
config.Save();
Which is fine and dandy, except that - obviously enough - my setting turns up in the <appSettings> section of the file. Is there a way I can use the Configuration object to access the ApplicationSettings/ApplicationName.Properties.Settings part of the configuration file? If so how? If not is there another way to write values into my application settings from code?

I have a new VS2010 .NET 4.0 Web project and the Properties Folder has gone wierd on me. It has lost teh "Open" under the right click. There is no way to get a Settings file created now.
I am unable to get to the Settings grid and no Settings file is created. I tried the help and it has the normal trip of select Properties, Open (right click), Settings Tab, etc. etc.

I'm implementing the recaptcha control from google.
I built a simple c# test project from their example and all works. Now, instead of having the PublicKey and PrivateKey in the aspx page, I'd rather assign these values at run time as they will most likely be pulled from either the web.config or a database table.
I tried the following in the Page_Load
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
recaptcha.PublicKey = "<deleted for obvious reasons>";
recaptcha.PrivateKey = "<ditto>";
}
but I get an error stating "reCAPTCHA needs to be configured with a public & private key."
I also tried overriding the oninit method of the page and assigning the values there, but no joy.

I've got a composite control (class) that exposes an asp:Label through a get-property. Is is possible to set the Text property of the Label through aspx-code?
I'd like to do something like this:
<cfw:MyCompositeControl runat="server" Label.Text="Test" />
One solution is adding each property to the composite class (like a public LabelText), but I'd like to set any property of any child control. So as new features of child controls become available, I'd like to be able to use them on my composite control. So basically I would like to set any property of the exposed child control.

I have a button in a details view that I want to change the properties of at run time. When the user clicks the edit button the details view goes into edit mode. I also want the edit button to turn into an update(or save) button so the use can click it to persist the changes done in edit mode. I've had to create a new instance of the button which I can do. I've done that with the cast below, I assume this is a good way to do this. I'm now having difficulty assigning the properties. I tried this but get a "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" error. I thought I was working with an instance of the object in the code below, but the compiler doesn't agree. How do I set the text, and other properties for my button instance?

I have a very simple setup, single mycontrol.ascx with assoicated mycontrol.ascx.designer.vb and mycontrol.ascx.vb file. mycontrol.ascx embeds a single reference to a custom control: "MyMenu":
<mM:myMenu id="myMenu1" runat="server" />
This has created a protected reference in the mycontrol.ascx.designer.vb file:Protected WithEvents myMenu1 As Global.CustomControls.MyMenuNow, when I breakpoint the Page_Load() event of mycontrol.ascx, and inspect the members returned from the type via:
Me.GetType().GetMembers()
I cannot any reference to myMenu1. If I look at the control with intellisence, the property is accessible:
Me.myMenu1 Can anyone explain exactly what I'm missing and what I need to do to access designer created properties at runtime through reflection?

I have a listview that is bound to a datatable on the runtime. The listview has a <ItemTemplate> format which includes a lot of controls. On the page Load I do bind the listview to a datatable. Now, I want to add more ListView Items without databinding the whole listview and maintain the same ItemTamplate.

We're currently refactoring our ASP.NET 4.0 Web Application to run on both plain old IIS and Azure. For the Settings (in the Properties namespace), I'd like to implement the State Pattern with an AzureSettingsState and a StandaloneSettingsState, which both provide settings getter methods.Now could anybody help me figuring out how ASP.NET deserializes the non-String values (e.g. TimeSpan or StringCollection), so that I can deserialize them on my own in the context class? All settings seem to be strings there.
public abstract class ConfigStateBase
{
public abstract string GetSettingValue(string setting);
}

My question relates to the performance implications of reading application configuration data from an XML file.I am building an application that lists information from a database and needs to know how to display the lists, depending on the types of data returned.This is difficult to explain, but basically I would like to have an XML config file that lists the types and describes how to display them. This will allow me to change the display methods without re-compiling the application.
My question is really around performance. Given that my application will need to use this data many times during each page load...Should I be reading directly from the XML file and parse it each time I need it?
Or should I cache the XML object and parse it each time I need it?Or should I parse the XML once, generate some sort of object and cache that object?My guess is option 3, but I'm basically fishing for best practice around this.

We have a few settings in our web application that can be user configured. As IIS exposes helpers for configuring "Connection Strings" and "Application Settings" we decided to take use this method of configuration.
Unfortunately this works by editing the Web.config file deployed in the web application. This means that a simple upgrade process of copying over the files from a newer web application release resets all configuration settings to the default.
Possible options:
When upgrading the webapp, backup the Web.config and restore it afterwards. This is not elegant and if the latest webapp defines new default-valued properties in the Web.config then this will break Write some admin-only configuration pages on the site and store the values in the DB. This puts the control back in our hands, but it will take work to write this and obviously has bootstrapping problems with connection strings.

There is a page in my project named Messages.aspx that shows the messages received [but obviously], using the ListView control.
I want that the user should be able to see the body of the message on the same page [Messages.aspx] just by clicking the subject of the message, which is ofcourse a link.[Messages.aspx?msg_id=some_id]. Hence the user would actually reload the same page to read the contents of the message.
Now what I want is that I should be able to write some code that would change the <LayoutTemplate> and the <ItemTemplate> of the listview during the runtime. [in the page_load event of course]
Previously the listview would look like this:
[Code]....
After the clicks any message to read it and the page gets loaded, I want the layout of the listview to look like this.

I'm trying to use the following command:
Dim xmlFilePath As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XmlFilePath")
to retrieve the following setting:
<applicationSettings>
<MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
<setting name="XmlFilePath" serializeAs="String">
<value>C:ASP.NETFolderMessageLog</value>
</setting>
</MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
</applicationSettings>
However, xmlFilePath shows up as Nothing after that line of code is run. What's the correct code to get a setting out of the web.config file in an ASP.NET application?
NOTE: Although you can add keys individually to the <appsettings> tag, I'm trying to figure out how to use it with the "Settings" tab in the project's properties.

I am working on a ASP.NET MVC 2.0 Multi-Presentation web application which would use a common codebase to support different websites. These websites would differ in following aspects:
Each website will have their own headers, footers, images, CSS etc (I guess website specific Master Pages)
Some of the UI elements could be different based on soft-coded settings at website level
What is the best approach to handle these requirements? Should I be storing these website level soft-coded settings in Database or multiple config files? I might have to provide a admin UI to manage these soft-coded settings. How do I access these settings in different layers (MVC, Services, Repositories etc) of my application?

I have some global settings in my application that is going to be handled by the administrator and I store them in the database.
Settings like: board on/off, max items/page on different UserControls, language, hide/show modules.
What technique should I follow to read the values in the database and display the page or the application according to it .. Of course I could do it the easy way and fetch the required settings for each page in the Page_Load event handler but I think that will be a lot of database connection!

I just uninstalled VWD 2008 Express and installed VWD 2010 Express (all details below). I'm noticing VERY slow load times, on the order of a couple minutes to like 5-6 minutes to load a page. I really don't think this is working right. Is there some setting that I can check to see what is bogging down my app?

I am developing a site which includes several different javascript files and libraries. For optimization purposes I have implemented YUI Compressor for .Net
This will minimize and combine my javascript files into one single file.
Now I have put this up in a MSBuild script that automatically does the compression and minimization and outputs it to a file of my choosing. However, I still wish to keep the original javascript files in my development environment. My question is simply:
Is there a good way to depending on the Debug setting for example choose which javascript to use? This to not have to change the MasterPage by hand each time I release the build.
Allow me to illustrate.
If I am running in Debug="true" I wish my MasterPage to include the following javascripts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="first.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="second.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="third.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fourth.js"></script>
If I am running in Debug="false" I wish this to be outputted in the MasterPage:
<script type="text/javascript" src="compressedAndMinimized.js"></script>

I have several web applications on a server using the same application pool. The worker process usually takes a lot of ram but usually only from one application. I can successfully limit the cache usage by setting "PrivateBytesLimit" in web.config file when the application uses it own dedicated application pool.
Does anyone know how this setting will be applied when using shared application pool? Is it per application, per worker process or per application pool? Also if it is not per application which setting from which application will be applied?

In our IIS (v 6.0) there is one classic ASP app deployed, which has around 35 concurrent users. Now, a new ASP.NET(3.5) app needs to be deployed on the same server which will have its own 50 concurrent users. In this scenario should we create a Application Pool for this new .net app? What are other recommendations for the IIS settings in future?

I'm working on a new C# web application in Visual Studio 2010, and am having problems reading a value in Web.Debug.Config from the GLobal.asax.cs file.
In the Application_Start event I've got the following code:
Application.Add("AppID", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("AppID"));
I also tried:
Application.Add("AppID", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AppID"]);
And in the Web.Debug.Config file I have the following:
<applicationSettings>
<add key="AppID" value="123" />
</applicationSettings>
I also tried:
<appSettings>
<add key="AppID" value="123" />
</appSettings>
And I tried having it in a file path, like so:
<appSettings file="C:MyPathappSettings.config"/>
When running in debugger, I've got a break-point in the Application_Start event in Global.asax.cs. It hits the break point, but in all cases the value coming back from ConfigurationManager is coming back null. What am I doing wrong?
