Setting The ExecutionTimeout Element In Applications Web.config
Jun 23, 2010
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?
I'm looking at an asp.net application, i notice that there are assemblies defined into two places. In web.config there is configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies/add elements. In the project file there are references setup under the Project/ItemGroup/Reference elements.
I was wondering, what is the difference between assemblies/references added in either location?
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 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?
I am working on a scenario where I need to combine three applications into one (Project Requirement). I link the three applications on a web page and which ever link is clicked, I redirect it to that page.
My application sturcture looks as below
MainPage
- Folder1 with App1 (uses Active Directory group for authentication)
- SubPages
- Folder2 with App2 (Uses Membership roles and users)
- SubPages
- Folder3 with App3 (Uses Other logins for oracle database)
- SubPages
Is it possible to provide authorization only for my App2 based on the role created in membership.
For eg: There is user1 with role1 and user2 with role2 but i need to allow only user1 with role1.
When I was checking this scenario in the ASP.NET configuration settings to modify, it has the allow all permisions which is disabled to modify and it is given that Rules that appear dimmed are inherited from the parent and cannot be changed at this level.
I want to be able to determine if the web.config element <compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="false" /> if the property is debug is set to true or false. Public Shared Function isDebug() as Boolean
Now since i'm securing the site i've noticed that the location element does not get much attention.The only thing i have found is that you can use <location path="" allowOverride="false"> on machine.config .I'm not sure how this goes but if you need to use this one every page then i will have multiple problems.First if i have a page with the same name on another website there is trouble and also if i need to update pages again problem.What i'm not sure of is if the location element on machine.config i just used once and then magically every site you have will throw an exception if a hacker changes you web.config.I have doubts and it's confusing and if i play with the server web.config,well i don't wanna mess with that.
So i also tried to encrypt the location element but i cannot find an example(can you encrypt it?).I can encrypt authorization and authentication but i will not go inside the location element.Just the standard authorization and authentication nodes.How can i secure the web.config location element so no hacker can change the allow,deny,etc.
The example above is specifying that all directories will be locked down to anonymous users except the two directories dir1 and dir2. I'm curious if there is a syntax that I can use that will allow me to define more than one directory within one location element. For example, it would be convenient if we could do something like this...
We would like to add styles and images to location, e.g. location path="images, styles". Is it possible to put multiple paths in location element (and how)?
I am trying to break a large web.config file into smaller parts. This has been covered a few times on different stack overflow questions (like this or this) which recommend using the configSource or file attributes. The problem is this does not work for the system.webServer section used to configure IIS 7 in integrated mode. This is particularly bad for web.config files that have IIS Rewrite rules which tend to bloat the files.
The httpRuntime element configures ASP.NET HTTP run-time settings that determine how a request for an ASP.NET application is processed.
Is it a good idea to customize this element in the config file.
The user has indicated that the application seems to be kicking her out, even though she is sure that she is submitting a form faster than every 30 minutes.
My Config file has these vales set, am I missing anything?
If I add a namespace element to the system.web pages namespaces section of the web.config do I still have to add references in the code behinds in order to have access to the members of that namespace at design-time?
I'm working on Windows 2008R2 with IIS 7.5. In web.config there is config value:
[Code]....
Now, web request calls WCF service, which is very time consuming (timeouts for WCF are set to 5minutes). Whilst waiting for WCF to finish, web application throws exception:
[Code]....
As far as I make it out, it's exception caused by exceeding 90seconds limit. But... I get that exception after about 150seconds. Is it common that request doesn't break instantaneously?
I did some tests: - set executionTimeout to 90seconds - set WCF timeout to 500seconds - play with Thread.Sleep in WCF service, and pass it a value between 90seconds and 500seconds.
It turned out that I got that
[Code]....
exception exactly after the time passed to Thread.Sleep method. Conclusion: web request thread has to wait for wcf call to return in order to be aborted?
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?
is? Both in web.config. I want to increase or reduce the timeout in my webapplication. Means: If a users idles more than 10 min. the should get timed out.
I have one requirement that i have to place the log file in the same directory of solution. That is my solution is placed in [drive]workProject1solution file. But i have to create my log file to [drive]workProject1Loglog.log. How it can be set in app.config file.
This 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.
I'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.
How 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!
