Is there a way to use a generated file as a configSource for a web.config section? In web.config, I tried a simple: <webParts configSource="webpartsConfig.aspx" /> where webpartsConfig.aspx just spits out XML when accessed normally, but not as a configSource. (The literal source code is included as-is, giving an error.) Any solutions...

I'm working on a site built on the Telligent Community platform. It comes with a zip of the site that I need to setup and build from.

I assume this is the same with the AJAX controls, but are there any extra ...

I have a WCF service with two methods, Ping and PutAddress. Ping works fine, but PutAddress was failing to initialize NHibernate correctly. Narrowing down the issue, I realized that the relevant settings from Web.config were not being read by PutAddress. Strangely, Ping does have access to the settings from Web.config. I removed al...
