More questions on web.config

[eagle]

In reading web.config and machine configs, what is the difference between
the ConfigurationManager and the WebConfigurationManager, and when would you
use one over the other. They both appear to be able to get values and
connection strings from the config files.

 

[Juan T. Llibre]

Accessing configuration sections with ASP.NET requires the use of
System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager,
instead of System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.

Checking for the current HttpContext is enough to determine
which manager needs to be used to get the configuration section.
