Hi chaps,
Can someone tell me the following:
If I declare a site wide config file and then want to overide it in a secure
directory, do I need to have a complete config file, or can I just overide
the settings that I want to change from the default.
If I need to have a complete config file, where can I find out the absolute
minimum that I need to put into it. The web.config file that Visual Studio
creates is full of crap that I'd quite like to get rid of if at all
possible.
The reason I ask is that there doesnt seem to be much point in redeclaring
config information (for example an SQLString) if that info is already
declared site wide.
Thanks for any advice you could offer
Kindest Regards
Simon

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I had thought about using the location tag but I
think I would prefer to use the other way (actually defining a new
web.config file), because this is the way that the developers at my company
have told me to do it and all the literature I have found have suggested
this way.
One reference even seemed to suggest that if you use the location tag, then
the values you define for that location aren't inherited by any sub
directories of the location. I don't know if thats true but either way, if
anyone could advise me on doing it the other way I would be very greatful.
Thanks
:-)

Defining the seperate web.config for your aplication is perfectly
acceptable, although it gives you more files to maintain.
Using location should inherit down to directories below the designated
location in the web.config file - if you add a new web.config below the
named location however it will override.

There have been a couple of config file 'systems' announced recently,
that focus on building more powerful and complex configuration files.
ConfigObj is a module to enable you to much more *simply* access
config files.
This is version 3, which is a big overhaul. It extends ConfigObj to
reading config files with sections and various other simplifications.
I find ConfigObj extremely easy to use and use it for reading config

I need to download a greater than 4 megabyte attachment via WSE / DIME. The
