Hi all,
This is a very elementary question, but I'm a couple of days into this. Which web.config file should one store keys in? Keys to use within a Model/Controller? I see four different ones:
Project > Views > Web.config
Project > Web.config
Project > Web.config > Web.Debug.config
Project > Web.config > Web.Release.config
When testing with a key in the one located Project > Views, I don't get to see the key value using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("UserName");.
Thanks.
The second is the projects default config, where the appsettings gets it's values.
Thanks, but what is the point of the others then? I also tried WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("UserName"); thinking this might get it from a different web.config, but not the case. Can I assume that using the second web.config in my list is the standard file to use for storing keys to be used in models and controllers?
That should be an interesting read.
@pritaeas, that was an interesting read indeed. Thanks for that.
