Hello robrod1970,

Notice the first paragraph on the page:

"Note: The code in this article is targeted for the beta version of Microsoft
..NET. Some of the code may require reworking in order to function correctly
on later versions of the .NET Framework."

In early betas of .NET 1.0, the file was actually called Config.web... :)
 
Nonsense!

At the time that article was written,
the name *was* config.web.

It was *later* changed to web.config.

Rob Howard, the article's author, btw,
was instrumental in the creation of ASP.NET.

It should read "Web.config" but someone at Microsoft managed to type it
as "Config.web" in the entire article. :)

Either this is a troll, or you didn't notice the prominently displayed date
of the article you cite.
As you've already been informed, the name was correct in December 2000.
 
In the beta, it was called config.web. I am sure you can find many other
articles written in 2000 that have incorrect info today ... because it was a
beta.

For example, this code ran under beta 1:

ADOConnection conn = new ADOConnection(connString);

The corresponding SQL connection was

SqlClientConnection conn = new SqlClientConnection(connString);

Annoyed me to no end when it changed as I had to relearn what I had learned.
But, that is the risk you have when you play with betas.
