C# - Configuration Settings Those Cannot Be Overridden In Lower Level Web.config Files?
Feb 16, 2011
This is a general question and is not about any particular issue that I am facing right now.As configuration settings in the child level can override the ones in parent level,errors can occur when you have 2 web.config files one redefining configuration settings that you cannot override such as authentication or session state.Issue happens when you have authentication / session state set on the lower level web.config and also in higher level web.config. Is there any other configuration settings like these ?

We are experiencing some strange behaviour on one of our ASP.NET web servers (Windows 2003 64-bit). After some activity, two third-party controls are unable to run correctly. One is log4net (it does not write error messages out) and the other is a menu control (it displays eval message instead of picking up its license). The one common thread is that both controls pick up their config from external config files (linked to from web.config).
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or experienced this in any way. Is it related to file/folder rights? The server has been running fine for a while and just started exhibiting this behaviour. Perhaps it occurs around the time the worker processes are recycled.

Web.config is the main settings and configuration file for an ASP.NET web application. The file is an XML document that defines configuration information regarding the web application. The web.config file contains information that control module loading, security configuration, session state configuration, and application language and compilation settings. Web.config files can also contain application specific items such as database connection strings
Example 1:
<!-- This is an example Web.config file -->
[Code]....
In this article, we will see how to read the configuration settings in the web.config using 'JavaScript'.
Step 1: Create a new ASP.NET website. Add a button control to the Default.aspx.
Step 2: Right click the project > Add New Item > Web Configuration File
Add the following sample entry to the appSettings section in the web.config between the <configuration> tag as shown in the example 1:
<add key="var1" value="SomeValue"/>
Step 3: To read these entries using JavaScript, add the following script in the <head> tag of your Default.aspx page as shown below:
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ReadConfigSettings()
{
var v1 = '<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["var1"].ToString() %>'
alert(v1);
}
</script>
</head>
Step 4: Call this function on a button click and display the values of the configuration settings
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick="ReadConfigSettings();" />
That's it. Run the application and click the button. The value of the key in the appSettings will be displayed in the alert window. I hope you liked this short article.

I'm starting to consider creating a class library that I want to make generic so others can use it. While planning it out, I came to thinking about the various configuration settings that I would need. Since the idea is to make it open/shared, I wanted to make things as easy on the end user as possible. What's the best way to setup configuration settings without making use of web.config/app.config?

I am designing a web application for Leave Application of our faculties. There is a form in my website which represent the existing paper-back leave application form. Users(faculties) have to fill-up this web form and after validation an email will be send to the email address of our principal/hod. I hope that email address(s) will be provided to our group members. Now I want to know that what will be the required configuration of the web.config file? I found this blog ScottGu's Blog. Here the given configuration is:
[Code]....
But I think this is not acceptable for my project as the smtp from="test@foo.com", userName, password are unknown to me. So what should I do. Am I able to understand my requirement to you?

I've been thinking about this for a couple days but still would like some feedback on the best way to go about this:
I have multiple sites (domains) that will be running the same code. However, there are a couple settings I have in the appsettings web.config file which are relative to each site. (ie: defaultSiteTitle, emailFromAddress, etc).
I would like to deploy this application in only one location (folder) and point the domains in IIS to that one directory.
To do this, I believe I cannot use the web.config file to hold these settings...
So, I decided to make a SiteSettings.xml file and load the site settings in there:
<sites>
<oSite domain="abc.com" defaultSiteTitle="This is Site ABC" emailFromAddress="info@abc.com" />
<oSite domain="xyz.com" defaultSiteTitle="This is Site XYZ" emailFromAddress="info@xyz.com" />
</sites>
So when I need to access the site settings I just call a function in my datalayer that reads this xml file and via the httpRequest I pass it it determines which site settings to use.
Okay, that works when I call it from a page where I have the httpRequest...
Howver, now when I'm into some business layer functions say sendEmail and I need to find the emailFromAddress from the SiteSettings.xml file, I don't have the httpRequest. I know I could probably hack something together and pass it someway...
But I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this...
I don't really want to store it into session.
Is it possible to tell IIS what web.config file to look at, if I had multiple web.config files? (I don't think this is possible).

My ISP recently has migrated my app to a new platform. The app has now to be parked in a root subfolder, say site1, rather than at the root.
The main page can still be accessed via [URL] is now located at /site1/default.aspx. Subfolder pages however cannot be accessed correctly anymore since the url includes now subfolder name "site1" ie
[URL]
instead of
[URL]
This of course breaks page referencing.
Despite multiple requests, I have not yet obtained an answer so far. Question: Is there a simple way to strip away string "site1" from the url, preferably at the web.config level? I know this can be done programmatically at the page level, to clean up page references (>30 pages). In addition, this could entail further compatibilty problems between the deployment version and the local development site.

I have few settings which I could place in a separate XML file and have them accessed in the Web app. Then I thought (thinking of one additional file to deploy), why not have them in the web.config itself. However, just because I need to have custom nodes, I can not have the settings under . So, I am thinking of creating a custom config handler following this. Would that be better than having a separate XML file? Is It going to be an overkill or performance wise? Is there a better way to go?

I want to make a 2nd website and am using a copy of the site files from my 1st site built for me, I added them via FTP to the hosting company. I realise when I edit the new site via the CMS it is editing both sites plus when I try to change anything to the CSS file I get the following error -
C:inetpubvhosts*****mysite******httpdocsapp_themessiteStyleSheet.css
So my questions are what do I need to change to be able to deploy a new site with the files I have to make a new site?I also don't understand where the password is coming from, I can see the User ID comes from the database. in the Asp.net connection strings are the following:
site Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;Initial Catalog=***;User ID=***;Password=*** - Where is this password coming from?
membership Data Source=sql7.hostinguk.net;User ID=***;Password=***;persist security info=False;initial catalog=***;

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 a couple of configuration files flxConnection.config and flxSecurity.config files which are being referenced from the Machine.config file like below.
<securitySettings configSource="flxSecurity.config" />
<connectionStrings configSource="flxConnection.config" />
I would like to encrypt the files (a) flxSecurity.config and (b) flxConnection.config using the RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider using a custom RSA key, which can be deployed to other servers. How is that possible? If possible, looked at a variety of stuff in the internet and they all seem to be referring to either Web.config or Machine.config encryption which is pretty straight-forward. This is how the flxConnection.config looks like,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated
Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
This is how the flxSecurity.config looks like,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<securitySettings>
<add key="APC_APP_ID" value="apcrpt"/>
</securitySettings>

I'd like to add build configuration dependant web config files to my empty ASP.NET 4 Web site project. How can I do that? According to this blog entry, VS 2010 is supposed to provide a context menu entry on the original web.config file, Add Config Transform, allowing to add build configuration dependant web.config files to the project. But this context menu entry doesn't exist. What did I do wrong?
Steps to reproduce:
Create an empty ASP.NET 4 Web site project on localhost (IIS)

I was merging my web.config file and one I downloaded for open source forums, as it told me to. I copied the different lines myself, but now I'm getting three compile errors in my file.
Here are the errors:
1- The 'compliation' start tag on line 47 does not match the end tag of 'system.web'. Line 205, position 4.
2- Tag was not closed. (On line 47, column 4)
3- Expecting end tag </compilation>. (On line 205, column 3)
I'll also post my web.config file below.

I have a .NET 4 class library project, which is used by multiple web projects. In this class library I need to get a DB connection string and it needs to be the same for all the web projects. Currently I've got it as a setting in each web.config file, but this is not ideal. Is there any way I can have that configuration stored with the DLL, but still allow it to be modified at runtime (ie. hardcoding the connection string is out)?
App.config seems to be generally ignored for a DLL, even though it does get renamed to assemblyname.dll.config and copied to the bin directory for the web. I tried making it an "application setting" (ie. using the auto-generated class derived from System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase) and this appeared to work, but changing the value in the DLL .config file at runtime had no effect, so I suspect it's really just using the hardcoded default value of the setting.
