如何将页面指向另一个web.config？

Question

Is it possible for a page in ASP .NET to point to a different web.config? Example, I have 2 different config files, one is web.config and the other one is web1.config. How can I point the page to web1.config in ASP .NET?

Answer 1

From what I know, you cannot point a page to a different web.config file. However, you can organize your Web Site/Application into sub-folders, with one main web.config file at the root folder and a new web.config file in a sub-folder for sub-folder specific settings. You can then make a copy of this sub-folder and modify its web.config for different settings.

Instead of making a copy of the files, an idea I have is to set a virtual directory in the sub-folder so that you can reuse the same web site/application and control it with different web.config files. I have not tried this before, but I think it's worth a try!

Web.config Inheritance and Overrides

Each Web.config file applies configuration settings to the directory that it is in and to all of the child directories below it. Settings in child directories can optionally override or modify settings that are specified in parent directories. Configuration settings in a Web.config file can optionally be applied to individual files or subdirectories by specifying a path in a location element.
