Hi there

I am having a little problem.

At the company i work in, we are working on a bunch of applications for a
server, and also webservices and aspx pages.

The main problem is i would like to be able to configurate them all from 1
file.

The reason is that we have a test a staging and a live server.
And depending on which server the programs are running on the need to
connect to different SQL servers, different webservice servers and more.

How can i solve this problem ?

If it would have been C/c++ i would have included a config file from a
specific position and done some preprocessing.
 
ASP.Net configuration files are web.config, these can be placed in the root
of the web site, and any sub-folder (to override the behaviour of the config
in the root).

The dotNet config files cascade from machine.config all the way down to
application level.

Have a look in the help docs for web.config

Hope this helps.

The problem is not all programs needing this config files run on IIS, but
just as plain programs.
