Share config between sub web apps

[Martin]

Hi,

How can I share config data between different web apps?

If I have 2 sub apps, can they inherit the config of the parent app? Is
this the best way to share config between different web apps?

Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,

..Config files are application/virtual specific so if you define a new
virtual it will use a new .Config file. However, if you have subdirectories
underneath a Web and don't define the subs as virtuals then the .Config
settings inherit.

I don't think there's a way to share .Config files across applications other
than some mechanism to copy the files automatically (using something like
RoboCopy or a custom file watcher).
