machine.config

[Mufasa]

What's the order for processing of machine.config? If I put a machine.config
in my root directory of the website, will that take precidence over the one
in the framework directory? If not, is there a way to have take precedence?

TIA - Jeff.

machine.config contains setting for all asp.net applications on the server.
Put your setting in web.config and they will take precedence.

No.

You can configure most properties in the application's web.config.

You will *not* be able to configure machine-wide settings in web.config, though.
You can only configure application-wide properties.
