Application Tab, ASP.NET Configuration Settings Dialog Box
The Application tab of the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box lets you manage three types of configuration settings:
-
Common compilation, page, and run-time settings.
-
Globalization settings.
-
Identity settings.
-
Open the Properties dialog box for the Web application.
-
Click ASP.NET, click Edit Configuration, and then click Application.
The settings that you make in the Application tab apply to the Web application that you selected before displaying the Properties dialog box. The settings that you apply in the Application tab will appear in the system.web configuration section of the Web.config file for the Web application.
Note |
|---|
| Configuration settings can be inherited. Settings can be defined in the Machine.config file, which acts as the base configuration for all Web sites and Web applications on the server. You can create new settings or override inherited settings by making configuration settings at the Web-application level. For information about ASP.NET Configuration Settings, see ASP.NET Configuration Overview |
