Web.config / Application problem

[Jim Lawton]

Hello Group,

I've got a .net application (actually an httphandler) working OK on my local
machine.

I get certain values from the config file using i.e. Application["XMLFolder"].

I have now uploaded the application to a more realistic webserver location, but
Application["XMLFolder"] now returns null.

Any suggestions why this might be?

TIA

Jim

is the folder setup as a Virtual Dir Application?

is the folder setup as a Virtual Dir Application?

It is on my local machine, not sure how it's set up on the server to which it's
installed, I'll have to check tomorrow.

Is that a possible issue?

Sorry, that might be an ambiguous answer. The application is set up in a virtual
folder, the physical root of which is, for argument's sake
C:\notinteresting\appdir

The XMLFolder is at C:\notinteresting\appdir\XMLFolder

(that's locally, and works fine)

Sorry, panic over I think ..

if I get tehe settings directly by ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig it works
fine. Then I discovered that the Application collection has it's values loaded
in that way in Global.asax which I hadn't uploaded - maybe I should have. as you
can see, I'm a bit new to .net.

Thanks for your help.
