bug: after changing configuration it damages web.config

Reply Contact

If I change website configuration through IIS Manager and APPLY changes, then web.config file will loose some values.

For example, I have some custom sections in my web.config and some .net 2.0 configuration sections:

<applicationSettings>
  <SC.Sendum.PT200.Properties.Settings>
   <setting name="SC_PT200_TscSms_SendSmsService" serializeAs="String">
    <value>SOME VALUE</value>
   </setting>
  </SC.Sendum.PT200.Properties.Settings>
...
</applicationSettings>

if i open IIS Manager and change Default Document for this website and click APPLY. Then web.config will be saved, but values will be lost for some items:

Hello Alenas. I am able to reproduce the bug on my machine. Looks like the bug is in the underlying configuration system and not in IIS Manager. I get the same behavior when I change a property using appcmd.exe or WMI. I will follow up on this in the team. Thanks for reporting.
