configuration settings

[rjl]

I have the following in code:

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["u"]

how come I need to compile for this data to get set? how come it doesnt
read the file at run time? How can I?

You don't. All that's needed is for the Application to start.

re: how come it doesnt read the file at run time?
It does.

re: How can I?
What you do is read the value of ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["u"]
from the server's memory.

No compilation; no reading of the file.
web.config is automatically read into memory when the Application starts.

that's what it is suppose to do, but I need to recompile for some
reason. in asp 1.1, I did not have this problem.

Supposingly, IIS will read the value again in runtime if the web.config is
being modified.

Can you provide more detail about your problem?

Tonight I will provide the code, but basically, when I change the
web.config, the new data is not used or read until I compile the app.
