I am running into a problem with a web.config in a child project that has the same connection string setting as a parent. We have this in several of our web apps but there is one case where we want a child not to use the parent web.config. Is there a setting or command in the child web.config to ignore the parent web.config?

Parent Web Config.

I have it working for the <tagMapping> section, but <controls> does not support <clear/>.
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?
I'm using IIS 7.5 and .NET 3.5 sp1.
I have an ASP.NET application running under IIS. I'd like to be able to change one of the web.config values in Application Settings. I know it's possible to change it programmatically as described in this answer but I'm wondering if the same thing can be accomplished from the command line.
The IIS 7 Manager allows application settings and connection strings (among other options) to be changed. My hope is there is a way to do the same via the command line for IIS 6 and/or 7.
I have a really tricky problem that I just don't seem to find a fix to. I have looked "everywhere" and this is my last hope.
In the root I have a web.config with a few namespaces added in the <pages> tag.
Then, I will use one subfolder for every customer with a unique web.config for each customer. Thing is that the scripts on the sites depend on a specific class for each company, located in App_Code / CustomerSpecific / <customername> / CustomerConstants.vb
Every class is embedded in a namespace with the customers name. So, if we only had one customer then the web.config in the root could say:
add namespace="customer1"
But, my plan is that every web.config in each customerfolder shall state what company name to use.
Then I can read just this customer's settings in the vb from the right file depending on the namespace.
Here comes the problem, when I test this, the site in the customer folder only reads the namespaces in the root web.config (I have tested with appsettings though and they read perfectly even from the child web.config, so there's no problem in reading from it). So something seems to be the matter with adding namespaces in the root web.config and then adding others in the child web.config.
Before you answer; yes, I have tried with both <clear /> and <remove> specific namespaces and it doesn't work anyway. The namespaces in the root web.config seems to be overriding anyway.
we were all recently alerted by scottgu with this security vulnerability. [URL] I'm wondering, since I've been redirecting errors via Global.asax on the Application_Error event, I was wondering if that can suffice the fix for this issue or do I still need to place a setting on the web.config?
View 1 RepliesI am facing an amazing problem in ASP.NET. I have a website with many sub directories. The sub directories have aspx and aspx.cs files but do not contain web.config files. I am using the web.config file of the parent directory for storing config items for the respective code files in sub directories. But when i m trying to read the web.config using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[] with absolutely the correct keys, there's no value being returned. Most amazing fact is, this same code works fine in dev enviroment but not in staging.
View 1 RepliesI have the following IIS folder configuration:WebSiteX - a web site contains a ASP.NET application with a web.config file WebSiteXApp - a virtual directory (App) under WebSiteX, with a different ASP.NET application and a different web.config file.What can I do to prevent the web.config file from the WebSiteX to be inherited when accesing the ASP.NET application from WebSiteXApp, in other words, when I access the WebSiteX/App ASP.NET application I want only the web.config from that application to be considered.

View 1 RepliesThis might sound a bit dumb. I always had this impression that web.config should store all settings which are suspect to change post-build and setting.settings should have the one which may change pre-build.but I have seen projects which had like connection string in setting.settings. Connection Strings should always been in web.config, shouldnt it?I am interested in a design perspective answer.Just a bit of background:My current scenario is that I am developing a web application with all the three tiers abstracted in three separate visual studio projects thus every tier has its own .settings and .config file.
View 2 RepliesI'm using a flash app to upload images (EAFlashUpload - http://www.easyalgo.com/eaflashupload.aspx) which works great, but there's a problem.For reasons beyond my understanding, if a theme (page theme = "white") is declared in the web.config, it doesn't work correctly; even if there is nothing in the theme folder at all! Oddly though, it's happy if the theme is set at the page level. Problem is, I don't want to have to hard code the page theme into every page. Is there another place I can set the page theme? I've tried in the code behind of the master page (pre_int), and also adding a web user control with some code behind to the master page.
View 7 RepliesHow can I change an application setting within a web.copnfig programmatically with C# (from another application, which configures the web-application)?
The following code snipped doesn't work, because AppSettings[...] is readonly!
configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(...);
ConfigurationSectionGroup configurationSectionGroup = (ConfigurationSectionGroup)configuration.GetSectionGroup("applicationSettings");
ConfigurationSection configurationSection = (ConfigurationSection)configurationSectionGroup.Sections[...];
configurationSection.CurrentConfiguration.AppSettings[...].value = value
I currently have 2 x ASP.NET 3.5 web applications in IIS7 (lets call them WebParent and WebChild).WebChild is nested within the WebParent listing in IIS7 and is set up as an application (rather than just a virtual directory within WebParent). Both currently use their own (Classic) application pool.Both WebParent and WebChild have their own fully defined web.config files in their own root directories.

I have a Silverlight control that is hosted within an ASP.NET application. The Silverlight control has a web service reference. The URL of this service is going to vary when we install the application for our customers. I need a way to be able to change this web service reference URL from within the web.config of the ASP.NET application. How can I do this?
View 2 RepliesI did a couple google searches about this and am not finding anything, so I thought I'd ask here. I'm working on our internal CMS and I noticed that we're getting live data back when doing debugging because of our web services instead of the dev data that I wanted. It doesn't do this on our dev CMS website, but we're trying to do all our development on localhost. Is there any way to set up an environment variable in our web config for the URL so that the CMS points to the dev database instead of live database that is referenced in the wsdl files?
View 3 RepliesIn our web.config I am using the following tag to determine the interface language of an ASP.NET website.

I'm having some trouble setting the ExecutionTimeout element in my applications web.config. My page is making a lengthy webservice call and times out after 110 seconds. (the default I believe). I set the value to 220, and make sure the compilation debug=false.
Does the compilation setting refer to when IIS/ASP.net compiles the ASPX pages when a client requests them, or does it refer to the visual studio compile process there the assemblies are created. Would using an assembly built using debug in visual studio still allow the above settings to work?
A client is unable to use my webpart because he is behind a proxy server and they need to specify a username and password to get past the proxy. I have this in my config file right now:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" bypassonlocal="True" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
Is there a way to supply a username and password to this proxy setting?
I have some pages that need user to sign in. If not, I need to redirect user to signin page. I know this can be done by using some code like"<system.web><authorization><deny users="?"/></authorization></system.web>" in web.config.
But can I just write some code to do the same function?
like in page load method, I can check whether user is sign in, if user is not signed in yet, how can I redirect user to the login page by using code? and how can I stop sending the content of the page to user?

I have my theme for each folder set in the web.config, but on design I have no access to the css or skins for that page unless I add them in the page directive, then upon rendering in html, the page shows 2 references to the same css file.
So for design purpose do I have to reference the file, then delete the references after I finish designing the page? why does the editor not recognize the web.config and reference the proper theme?
I just installed VS2010 and opened the root machine.config and web.config files for review and I found some errors.
