So you need to set both in order to upload large files: the smaller one “takes priority”. (I picked this up from http://forums.iis.net/t/1169846.aspx — credit where it’s due.) You can set both … Read more

The basic <appSettings> is easier to deal with – just slap in a <add key=”….” value=”…” /> entry and you’re done. The downside is: there’s no type-checking, e.g. you cannot safely assume your number that you wanted to configure there really is a number – someone could put a string into that setting….. you just … Read more
You need URL Rewrite module, preferably v2 (I have no v1 installed, so cannot guarantee that it will work there, but it should). Here is an example of such web.config — it will force HTTPS for ALL resources (using 301 Permanent Redirect): <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <clear /> <rule name=”Redirect to https” … Read more

*Updated April 2016 The customErrors attribute is used when the .net code is throwing an exception (404, 403, 500 etc) and the httpErrors attribute is used when IIS itself is throwing an exception. /myfakeextensionslessurl –> httpErrors 404 /myfakeaspsx.aspx –> customErrors 404 /myfakeimage.jpg –> httpErrors 404 /throw500.apx –> customErrors 500 /throw500 –> customErrors 500 There are … Read more
Here it is some code: var configuration = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(“~”); var section = (ConnectionStringsSection)configuration.GetSection(“connectionStrings”); section.ConnectionStrings[“MyConnectionString”].ConnectionString = “Data Source=…”; configuration.Save(); See more examples in this article, you may need to take a look to impersonation.
