From: AMP on 14 Feb 2010 18:41 Hello, What is the difference between having a "location" Tag in web.config and having a web.config file in a seperate folder? I read that there is a major difference, but no explanation. Thanks

I read that there > is a major difference, but no explanation. > Thanks There is no difference, because ASP.NET used hierarchal configuration that allows inheritance of configuration settings. Separate web.config helps to clarify what location is setup for the current directory. Note, that there is allowOverride attribute which can prevent configuration settings from being changed by web.config files in child directories. example (in root web.config) <configuration> <location allowOverride="false"/> </configuration> Hope this helps |
