从子网站web.config读取AppSettings

Question

I have aa subsite placed in my Default website. In the subsite I want to store variables in it's web.config.

However, whenever I try to retrieve the values, they don't exist in the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.

I have put the website as a website application and created it as virtual directory in IIS, no success...

Does anyone have ane idea?

Thanks!

(btw, I'm using .NET 3.5 and IIS Manager 6)

Answer 1

just FYI your subsites are called Virtual Diretories

in the web.config all you need to do is add this into the file:

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="myVar1" value="myValue1" />
    <add key="myVar2" value="myValue2" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

the <appSettings> is a simple NameValueCollection that you can itenerate in your code like:

NameValueCollection appSettings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;

for (int i = 0; i < appSettings.Count; i++)
{
  Console.WriteLine("#{0} Key: {1} Value: {2}",
    i, appSettings.GetKey(i), appSettings[i]);
}

Is this what you are doing?

Nevermind,

I've fixed my own issue.

I was using URL Rewrite which caused the server to get a bit confused about the actual location of my project.
