aspx thread: Writing Configuration

Message #1 by Terrence Joubert <Terrence@v...> on Mon, 26 Aug 2002 15:58:22 +0400

Hi,

 

I have a little problem searching for a .NET component that allows my code
to write to a configuration file (Web.config). There is no object within the
System.Configuration namespace that provides such ability. 

 

Does anyone of you know which object I can use?

 

Thanks for any help

Don't know of any specific class but it's a fairly trivial exercise for the
Xml related classes.

Thanks Joe,
I think that the System.Configuration namespace is somehow 'incomplete'.
Many thanks

Hi there,

There is an article on MSDN that explains how to create our own 
configuration handler. It's basically used to read data, but it may give 
you a head start in writing to it as well.
Otherwise, the "ordinary" XML classes should provide enough access to the 
XML file. After all, it's just plain ol' XML so you should be able to read 
from and write to them like any other XML file.

Referring to "ASP.NET amd ADO.NET" (MS Press) this is by design.

This makes perfect sense. (my interpretation, not theirs)

Pretend you are Microsoft.  Pretend you've been working hard to monopolize 
server presentation of the Network.  But, your flagship has leaks, and 
because no one likes you (among other reasons), they are sensationalized 
when they are found.

The LAST thing YOU want to do is introduce a programmatic way to expose 
your web application's configuration to remote control.  Someone else will 
be along to do this any second (see links in this thread).

With proper security implementation in the web application and on the web
server, one can block remote access to a configuration file. Besides, what
if remote entities were to hack in, treat and manipulate this config file as
an XML file? Security on the web server implemented by its Administrator is
the key here.
If it is really 'by design', then I think that this feature is as annoying
as the feature in Outlook 2002 that blocks certain types of attached files
and gives the user no way of controlling which type of file to block. For
dumb users, that's good, but for super users like me and many others that's
silly. It's time Microsoft caters for both classes in its Trustworthy
Computing initiative.

Hoi Terrence,

Not really related to the topic of writing to a configuration file.
But you can force that outlook doesn't block specific files, by adding
the following in your registry :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

Set its value to "Level1Remove"=".exe;.com;.reg"  and restart Outlook. 

Greetings
