  Editing custom configSection using IIS Configuration Editor

  May 06, 2011 10:18 PM|LINK

  I have a following section in my app web.config file:

  <sectionGroup name="RegistriesCustomSettings"> 
    <section name="RegistriesSettings"  
             type="Registries.Business.Utilities.RegistriesConfigurations"/> 
  </sectionGroup > 
   
  <RegistriesCustomSettings> 
      <RegistriesSettings ContextCommandTimeout="30"  
             logLinq="true" DisplayUser="true" BaseReportPath="/DDD/"  
             ReportingServer="http://ReportServer" 
             TopInstitution="1000001" /> 
  </RegistriesCustomSettings> 

  I also created a new file and added it into IIS schema folder with a following content:

   <configSchema>

             <sectionSchema name="RegistriesCustomSettings">

                  <element name="RegistriesSettings">

                      <attribute name="ContextCommandTimeout" type="int"   validationType="integerRange" validationParameter="30,600"allowInfinite="false" defaultValue="30" />

                      <attribute name="logLinq" type="bool" defaultValue="false" />

                     <attribute name="DisplayUser" type="bool" defaultValue="true" />

                     <attribute name="BaseReportPath" type="string" validationType="nonEmptyString" />

                     <attribute name="ReportingServer" type="string" validationType="nonEmptyString" />

                     <attribute name="TopInstitution" type="string" defaultValue = "1000001" validationType="nonEmptyString"/>

             </element>

      </sectionSchema>

  </configSchema>

   Then added a following line into IIS applicationHost.config file:

  <section name="RegistriesCustomSettings" overrideModeDefault="Allow" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />

  When I go to the site under IIS and try to edit section values using IIS Configuration Editor, I get an error from Configuration Editor with no description.

  If I remove the section declaration from site web.config file then error disappears and I can edit values in config section, but site site no longer rendering giving configuration error.

  How can I resolve this problem?

  Hi,

  It seems ASP.NET doesn't detect it as a valid section. Could you please try either of the following options to see if this address the issue:

  • When configure the settings in Configuration Editor, click the "From" dropdown list, select ApplicationHost.config with location path of your site.
  • Define the section under system.webServer node.

  Hope this helps, thanks.
