Multiple appSerttings?

[musosdev]

Hi

I'm wondering if it's possible to split my application settings into
multiple files?

Currently, I have <appSettings configfile="blah" /> in my web.config.

What I wanted to do though was split the file down, so I could have like
basic.config, errors.config, etc - each with <appSettings> and a collection
<add key lines.

However, I can't add multiple appSettings lines to my web.config, so I'm
wondering if it's possible!?

Thanks


Dan

Sorry :/

There is no "out of the box" way to do this. You can, of course, write your
own configuration handlers. I am not sure how deep this gets, as I would
imagine you cannot inherit from the default handler. If I am wrong, it makes
things a bit easier, but I would not say easy.

Keith Barrows figured out a way to do this.

Btw, his blog application blocks the view of the end of some code lines.
However, selecting the text and dragging down copies all of the code.

His example might be adaptable to other uses.
