C# - How To Get Common Library To Read App.config Of Current Executable
Apr 28, 2010
I have a common library and two executables. Each executable refers to the common library for some functionality. I would like the common library to read from the app.config of the exe which is currently running. Is there specific API calls to do this?
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?
I am going to develop the web application in asp.net. where as in this application there is 4 user perspectives. all are independent all togather. but I want to develop under the single web solution. also want to create the number web applications for each user perspective, under this solution. so can i use common web.config file for this solution? what will impact ? if can not then how to manage the config files so that I need to change configuration at once (if need in future)
I am relatively new to asp.net environment.Recently working on a project, i discovered a problemi.e. I had to add using system.io to all file functions in any page. same for using sql functionsi.e. any method for that namespace had to be used in full like By adding the following section in web.config , ALL my pages automatically have access to that namespace
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.

share your thoughts if there is any way to encrypt app.config section with out changing code? I know that we can use aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt the web.config file.
I came across some blogs to rename app.config to web.config and run aspnet_regiis -pef command. I am able to create an encrypted version of app.config file but application failed to read the keys from encrypted app.config. so this approach didnt work for me.

I am searching for a module where I can change read status of emails from asp.net application using openpop library. And I can only read emails those are unread on the email server using asp.net application.
I'm struggling to find a way of specifying a file location in web.config appSettings that avoids using hard-coded paths but allows a non-'web aware' C# library to find a file. The C# library uses standard File.Open, File.Exists methods, etc. to operate on a data file, which is stored in my web application (ASP.NET MVC) tree, e.g. under:
I don't want the C# library to be aware of the web application it's being used in, as it is used in other software, and the web application has no need to know about the configuration of the C# library.
I have a solution I'm working on in VS2010 Professional, using ASP.NET 4.0 with the AJAX Toolkit.This has been working fine, but when I started it up today, I got the runtime exception shown above. This exception occurs on any page with a control from the toolkit.Sometimes when I load a page, I get an exception "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, ublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." If I then reload the page (without making any changes), I then get the exception shown in the subject line.I tried dragging an AJAX Toolkit control from the toolbox onto a page, and then deleting it, and that worked - once. The next time I tried the page (or any other), I got the exception again. Dragging a control out didn't help this time.
