Do you struggle with the size and the number of entries in the web.config file? Do you understand every element?Is it time for Microsoft to relook at how an ASP.NET site is configured, perhaps by splitting the web.config file into multiple files?

I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
I have one doubt Can we access one web.config file to another web.config file in asp.net
View 6 RepliesCurrently, 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?
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?

View 10 RepliesIs it possible to have separate config files for specific sections of the web.config? Specifically I'd like to move IIS 7's rewrite section out of the web.config and into it's own config file.
View 3 RepliesIt is known that we use web.config file to override the setting of machine.config file.
a) how come machine.config file knows that only changes made in web.config file are to be overwritten. I mean to say, if I use some other name for the config file say xyz.config, will it be able to work?
b) How does machine.config file know about web.config? Is there any link mentioned inside the machine.config file for that?
I noticed the ActionNameAttribute lets you alias your controller methods. This is nice but I was curious if there was a comparable attribute for a controller name. Specifically, I have a controller with a lengthy name in c# world but would like to shorten / alias it in the actual URL. I was hoping for some kind of controllername attribute. Is there such a beast?

I have a web-application (ASP.NET) and want to open another external webpage on another machine. I have to forward some information (variables) to that webpage, but they should not be part of the URL. So my question is, how can I achieve this without querystrings?
View 1 RepliesThis week my team spent way too much time trying to do simple things in reporting services, and I've decided to start evaluating other options. I know there are some good options out there now that aren't too expensive. I've heard that Telerik, ActiveReports, and a few others are widely used.I was hoping to get some first hand accounts regarding reporting toos that you've used. Specifically, I definitely want to hear your thoughts about:Pain points and gotchas you ran into.Ease of use for report design. It's a little bizarre to me that Access still seems to hold the throne in this area!

View 1 RepliesIn my code I will be presented with url strings to pages... All I want to do is to extract the page name, nothing else... (Example)
string page1 = "./default.aspx";
string page2 = "./subfolder/gallery.aspx";
string page3 = "./subfolder/anotherSubfolder/demo.aspx";
I've used the substring feature before, but I am struggling with this one since I only want the page names which are on the right hand side, I basically want to chop of everything else (folder paths).. all I want to end up with is default.aspx, gallery.aspx and demo.aspx
I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,

Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.

View 1 RepliesI am encrypying my .NET config file using this command and it works just fine:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SampleApplication"
For this to work though I have to have a virtual directory called SampleApplication pointing to the folder my web.config file is under.
Is there a way to just specify the path to the file and not have to have a virtual dir?
I tried with
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -location "c:FoldercontainingWebConfigFile"
but i get the error: " path attribute must be a relative virtual path". And cannot contain any of ":" "" etc...

the image is my button, and that is the JQuery that handles the button click. when you hover your mouse over the image, it stays as the basic arrow pointer. How do I make it change to a hand so the user knows they can click on it?
I have a gridview that has LinkButtons and when I hover over the link instead of seeing an hand cursor, that allows me to click the link, I see a vertical bar, that's not clickable. This was working normally until recently, so I must have done something to cause it, but I don't know what?
View 2 RepliesI have installed SQL Server 2008 express, reinstall it with advanced services, uninstall TFS 2010 and tries to reinstall it but fails. It doesn't want to completely uninstall.
So I'd like to clean everything by hand (deleting registries, folders) but can't find any info. I have deleted install directory but installer still memorized that TFS is installed.
by looking at using the XmlDocument and creating elements and attributes and then inserting them into the document. Pretty soon this looked like a massive amount of work for all the elements I have to add.What are the repercussions of treating the config file as one big long text string and doing a replace at certain points to add my entries. Something like this...
private void InsertXMLElement()
{
StringBuilder webConfig = new StringBuilder();
// get the file into a stringbuilder for manipulation
using (var sr = new StreamReader("C:web.config"))
{
webConfig.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());
