  Override the loading of the appSettings section of a config

  Sep 29, 2003 07:35 PM|LINK

  Is there a way to intercept when the web.config file is loaded (as far as AppSettings goes) to pull values from a DB instead of the web.config file? Thanks, - Kevin

  Hi, if you want such, you might want to take a look at Configuration Management Application Block by MS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/cmab.asp?_r=1

  Without getting too deep into installing and testing, does this still allow you to use ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["key"] to retrieve the settings stored in a database? Or, do you have to point to a different class/method? Thanks, - Kevin

  It has it's own object model what I've read about it (see the URL I gave). Haven't used it myself though. Here's a forum dedicated to the subject if you want to ask about it: http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowForum.aspx?tabindex=1&ForumID=121
