I'm working on an EmailSender, and I'm grabbing the email address from my Web.config file. I'd like to also grab a "display name" for that email, from the same section if possible, but I'm not seeing an obvious way to do this. In my Web.config file, I have included a default "from email address", like this: <configuration> <system.ne...
I would like to set up rules in IIS7 for static content caching in my ASP.NET website. I have seen these articles, which details how to do it using the <clientCache /> element in web.config: Client Cache <clientCache> (IIS.NET) Add Expires or Cache Control Header to static content in IIS (Stack Overflow) However, this setting ap...
I've not been able to find any easy reference on this: I have a web.config file that specifies <appSettings file="someotherfile.config"/> to put settings in an external file. That means that someotherfile.config is not a "valid" configuration file, as it doesn't follow the full tree format, it just contains the appSettings subtree. Is ...
I learn to work with the built-in profile provider of .Net, and have the following problem: I read that the machine.config-settings can be overridden by the web.config-settings of a .Net-Application. The following settings in the machine.config-file are relevant for me: <connectionStrings> <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="D...
What happens when I save a change to web.config while the application is live? The reason I ask is that I'm working on a site/webapp right now which is built on top of an e-commerce platform. At seemingly random intervals, the site will stop responding. The process for the app pool is normal (no ridiculous memory or CPU usage when this h...

What are the configuration file settings to enable webservices on IIS 7.0 in classic mode? The site has to be in a classic mode application pool because the Report Viewer controls crash when running in Integrated Mode.

We've got a somewhat complex project that the original developers split into multiple projects for organization purposes. What this means to me is that I've got an ASP.Net site that has a web.config and contains all sorts of good settings, and another project that compiles to a DLL that has it's own .config file, app.config. In the DLL...
I changed a dataset based approach to my sqlite database to one using the Entity Framework. I created the entities using Visual studio 2008's wizard and had the connection string stored in the app.config. A client program then communicates through WCF with the database. This works well on the development computer when I host the WCF serv...
I'm using URL routing (with WebForms) in the following format: http://host/project/{projectid}/{pageName} Another option is that the user is refering to a subapplication: http://host/project/{projectid}/{application}/{pageName} The subapplication isn't a new web application, simply a virtual directory.

We would like to use msbuild to clear the connectionStrings section from a web.config file. What is the easiest way to do that? We have previously used XmlMassUpdate to replace values (see also this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1294438/xmlmassupdate-replace-value-node), but have not found a way to remove it entirely. M...
I'm hosting an ASP.Net MVC site on GoDaddy. The site is in the root directory, and when I try to go to http://mydomain.com/stats, it redirects me to my MVC's logon page. I have no stats controller or view in my application, so it's not that it's hitting the wrong page. I contacted GoDaddy and they said it was most likely something i...

For instance, the way we're doing it now is like thus: (in the web.config) <location path="somePath"> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles="approvedRoles"/> <deny users="*"/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> And what I would like to do instead is to store this information in SQL somewhere so that we can mani...
I'm going crazy and wasting a lot of time. I am running in DEBUG, checked the web.config to ensure debug=true is there, checked the code to ensure I am reaching it, cleared all temp files and pdb's. The only thing that works is to continually kill the solution, create a new solution and add all the projects again. I shouldn't have to do ...
