IIS 7.5 Web Application Inheriting From Parent Web.config
Sep 27, 2010
Well the title says it all im using a asp.net 4.0 project.My file structure looks like this [code]Now the WebService seems to get some parts of the web.config from the RootSite, the problem here is <configuration><system.webServer>..So i tryed to place this around that section <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> but that had the result of making a httpHandler only to function in the root directory.So is there any solution to this? i don't understand why my webservice's web.config is inheriting from the root's web.config..

Can values from web.config be read completely at runtime or does the application make a copy of the current web.config upon initialization.
Essentially, I'm wandering if I make a change to web.config if it will take effect on the users next postback or if they would need to initialize an entirely new page load. In particular, I'm interested in sections of the web.config like sesssionState and when a change to timeout would take effect.

I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?

As a practice exercise at my college we have to make a simple room booking system, complete with its own config file. We're not allowed to use the one built into VB.NET (the professor wants us to adapt to not relying on things like that) so I've made my own. This is a sample:
// Config file.
// First column is the variable name that will be used to
// reference the value in the second column. Seperate each

I have an application Bbb.exe. I found that there are two configurations.Bbb.exe.config and Bbb.vshost.exe.config. They are exactly same.For some reason, I changed Bbb.exe.config and keep Bbb.vshost.exe.config unchanged.

Can someone tell me where this is? Most places on the net say it's in same folder as the .exe, but when I look in there I don't see it. There is an .xml file in there but that doesn't look like it's it.

I have VB.net console application. I would like to read the (ConnectionString) from a web.config.
Web.config is located at a particular path in my virtual PC, say "C:/mywebConfig"
<add name="MY_DB" connectionString="Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DB;Persist
Security Info=False; User ID=***;Password=****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
My code:
Dim connString As String = String.Empty
connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MY_DB").ConnectionString
Whenever I try to access it, i get the error not set to an instance of an object or something like that :)
I tried to add the web.config in my Project, but still get the error.

I'm trying to use the following command:
Dim xmlFilePath As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XmlFilePath")
to retrieve the following setting:
<applicationSettings>
<MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
<setting name="XmlFilePath" serializeAs="String">
[Code]....
However, xmlFilePath shows up as Nothing after that line of code is run.
What's the correct code to get a setting out of the web.config file in an ASP.NET application?
NOTE: Although you can add keys individually to the <appsettings> tag, I'm trying to figure out how to use it with the "Settings" tab in the project's properties.

I have a general question on app.config, or the best way to NOT hard code a SmtpServer.Host = XXXXXXXX setting. I wrote this very simple SMTP texting application and wanted to have the settings not hard code but a form that read or writes to app.config or .ini or registry. my question is the pros and cons? and if anyone hae suggested or a link to sample project that is doing what I'm after. I have a single .exe and am new to vb.net and either want the exe to check for app.config, ini or registry if does not exist to create and then save added config, if the exe runs again it uses the newly created settings.

I want to load a dictionary at startup in my console app from my app.config. I know that I could use an xml library or linq to XML to load it to parse and traverse it. My question is there a BUILT IN way of doing it. Isn't there some way to add an application configuration section into the app.config and then have it loaded automagically using ConfigurationManager class in the System.Configuration namespace?

I'm having trouble with my application settings and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I have a Librabry with a connection string. In the project for the library it has its own app.config:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >

I've just moved an external dll into a folder different from the main exe directory, so I had to use the <probing> command in an app.config file. Now however, the application won't find the dll unless I have the app.config file in the same directory as the main exe! So how can I embed the app.config file in the EXE, or alternatively move it to the folder called 'Resources' where I store the external

I have been searching and posting regarding this problem and have found nothing to aid me. Discussion is either on web.config files or deal only with external files for connection strings or earlier versions of vb.net not 2008.I have already successfully put connection strings into an external config file, but trying the same approach with application settings has failed.There are two sections of the app.config involved with application settings.
1. the configuration and config sections at the top of the config. file where the section group and the section name are described.
2. the actually data for the application settings by section group section name which appears in the body of the configuraton section of the app.config.[code]

Basically i have a .net application that has a directory path stored in the app.config file. this directory path outputs xml files that will be read by an asp.net web page.
Is there any way i can get the asp.net web page to read the directory path stored in the app.config file? Should i look to use the web.config file at all?

I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

I'm quite new to this app.config function. Hope someone can show me the road on this. I have a solution which comprise of 5 projects and one of them just to retrieve the value from the app.config file to be read by other projects. So, in the app.config file, i have my connection string stated inside and i can use it nicely.

I'm trying to make a application that allows the person to script config files for an open game server project so they don't have to do it manually... I'm starting with 3 groups. Those groups are "NPC NAMES", "MONSTER NAMES", and "MONSTER WALK POSITIONS"... I want the user to be able to add as many items to the group as they want... Right now I'm using a listbox, but its very messy... I want the user to be able to add items to these groups, and then add the items of each group to a .txt file.

The application sits on a virtual environment and when I remote in and run the application, it connects to the remote database. However, when I remote in with a service account and double click the same .exe, it tries to connect to the local host database and ignores the app.config. The code is the same, only the login name I use is different. The login I use is part of the local admin group. Any ideas?

I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.
i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.
i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?
I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer. This is where im struggling to understand what i need to do next. Do i need to override the install method? The current code of my installer class was automatically generated and is as follows:
