Hi,
i was wondering whether i would use global.asax or web.config for the
connectionstrin g to the database. I put this in global.asax.
Sub Application_Sta rt
Application("Co nnect") = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=c:\mydb. mdb;"
End Sub
In web.config, i added:
<appSettings>
<add key="newres" value"Provider= Microsoft.Jet.O LEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:\mydb. mdb;"/>
</appSettings>
What's the best way (speed, resources ..) according to you?
Thanks

the best place is your *configuration* file; i.e web.config

It's much easier to put in web.config. That way you don't need to
recompile each time the connection string changes. Just edit
web.config and away you go
The downside is that web.config is an xml file which is humanly
readable so any passwords will be visible anyone that can access your
web site's content files locally
IIS will not serve up the web.config file though - http://mywebsite.com/web.config will result in an server error
Bear in mind that MS Access is not particulartly scalable as a database
if you're epecting many concurrent visitors

Agreed.
If your worried about security then ecnypt it......
Bear in mind that this will (almost certainly) not be possible on a public
site hosted by a 3rd-party ISP, as the account they give you to upload your
files will (almost certainly) not have sufficient privileges to run
aspnet_regiis, even if you somehow manage to pop a command window...:-)
Good point - forgot that bit :)
I assume that everyone hosts their own stuff on old laptops adn defunct kit
like I do........

I have two projects - they both need to use the same web.config file, the
same global.asax file, and share a common "look and feel" via several user
controls.
Is there an easy way for two projects to share these resources in VS.NET so
we don't have to worry about synchronization issues ASIDE from combining the
two projects into one?
Thanks in advance!

I use Application_Start in global.asax to set some physical folder

When I move the project from the dev to the production server the

Hi
I have a declared a static DataSet object SOBJ in Global.asax.I also have a
localy defined DataSet LSOBJ in Global.asax which I am storing in Application
State.Is there any technical differences in the way both the objects are
handled by IIS.
Are both objects stored in different memory spaces?
I can access both the objects in my web page.
I will be grateful if some one can help me understand the difference.

Global.asax? Use HttpModules Instead!
In a previous post, I talked about HttpHandlers - an underused but
incredibly useful feature of ASP.NET. Today I want to talk about
HttpModules, which are probably more common than HttpHandlers, but
could still stand to be advertised a bit more.
HttpModules are incredibly easy to explain, so this will hopefully be a
short-ish post. Simply put, HttpModules are portable versions of the
