Modify a web.config file

3471Jack329

This is a stupid question but I risk it.

Just in case something is possible...

How can I modify the web.config settings from ASP.NET programming?

<system.net>
<mailSettings >
<smtp from="em***@add ress.ca">
<network host="link.geog io.com" password="passw ord"
userName="usern ame" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Just note that modifying the web.config will cause your application to
restart.

You can't, because the file is locked. You can do it outside the web, but,
as mentioned by Eliyahu, it will restart your application, booting off all
live sessions.

In .NET 2.0, you can make additional "config" files that are linked from the
web.config and do it that way. Or, you can create your own configuration
"handler" and do whatever you wish.

How to modify library-specific settings in referencing applications

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
