I have a DLL that references a web service. The block it has put into the app.config is (I have changed the names but you'll get the idea): <applicationSettings> <DLLName.My.MySettings> <setting name="DLLName_WebReferenceName_ASMXName" serializeAs="String"> <value>http://URL/Filename.asmx</value&g...
I have several features which are deploying web parts into a given site sollection. The WSPs were built using the WSPBuilder add-in to Visual Studio 2008.

By default, Tomcat's error pages disclose both the existence of Tomcat and the exact version of the container that's handling the requests. This is nice for development, but in a production context this information is a potential security hole and it would be nice to disable it.

In ASP.NET WebForms you can reference appSettings directly in your markup with this syntax: <%$ MySettingKey %> Unfortunately this does not work in ASP.NET MVC because, as MSDN points out, this syntax only works in server controls. I've run into a few situations where I would love to use this syntactic sugar in an ASP.NET MVC view (W...
Hi, I've added a generic handler (ashx) in my project but I can't see it's registration in web.config and it works. How come ? I mean shouldn't visual studio add it as a http handler in web.config ?

I've refactored some of my View's javascript out into .js files alongside the views (not in the Scripts folder off root). By default, the handler in web.config for the views stops these being loaded: <add name="BlockViewHandler" path="*" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/> However, I want to...
How can <connectionStrings> in Web.config be changed without resetting sessions of logged in users? I'd like to keep using <connectionStrings> instead of creating a custom section because I use LINQ and I don't want to have to hack my DBML.
