Overriding Web.config Using Location Tag

Let's say you have a web application with several static configuration settings stored in the <appsettings> collection. Then let's say you want one module of your application to behave differently, i.e. a different set of Application Settings should apply.

Use the <location> tag in web.config to describe the settings for folders within the application.

Web.config Snippet
I have a web application set up in c:\inetpub\myapp, aka http://localhost/myapp. A snippet from web.config is illustrated here:

The application reads settings from the collection by default, unless the request is made to the Test folder.


MyApp Settings

The following screen shot illustrates the default behavior:



Test Settings

And here are the overrides, using the same test page under the /Test folder:
Piece of cake, huh? For the brief testconfig.aspx source code, visit the following link.

  1. Hmm...did I leave out that the testconfig.aspx source is simply copied to the two locations, rendering different output based on web.config specifications?

    If that doesn't clarify, let me know.

  2. Hi, I am facing a problem with this "location" tag. I have overwritten the authorization section of "System.web" using this tag, for one specific file in current directory.After installation of set of O.S.patches in production this stopped working. Can u give me any idea, why is this happening?

  9. I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just dish out in days of yore staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to mitigate stress and just fantasize just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've in any case at ease more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, harmonious boxes etc. So I was most charmed when I base the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Spry Appear Laser Top Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a musical box, a spinning better, and a light divulge all rolled into one. Which is spectacular diversion! The gyroscope transfer whirl representing round a minute. The laser enlightenment display with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure unique tiny that my friends have also been most amused with.

    My dogs are also fair outr?around the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser slight advertise, and also because it produces music. But after they got used it, they've stopped barking but just keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused alongside it. Off it's proper to take fun toys throughout the house so that you can leave the diminutive on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you open to provide for scoff or get changed. The gyroscope is a particular such trinket with this purpose.

    The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a intent plot on it, and produces a taper accompany with red, dispirited, and unripened colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but decorous plenty to consider any redone visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and jet-black, making it look exceedingly imperturbable, and measure arrogant with that dragon imprint.

    The music light make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to eye-opener my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser brighten register produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the moonlight effects created a rather dreamt-up atmosphere. She loved it, not later than the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping put for all gifts and ideas for romantic occasions.

    Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp playing gyroscope can perhaps be a great Christmas gift looking for the toddler or neutral the mollycoddle! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a gracious addition to the established Christmas decorations. I can imagine placing it adjoining the Christmas tree and perhaps spinning it when guests reach in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my function thus far again!
