  1. POSharePoint 2010 - Creating a supplemental web.config file
    text
    copied!<p>I'm currently developing a new feature for SharePoint 2010. Along with the deployment of my feature I would like to add some settings to the <code>&lt;appSettings/&gt;</code> section within my SharePoint applications web.config.</p> <p>I found some information on <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms439965.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MSDN</a> regarding adding supplemental .config files during deployment, but I have not been able to get this to work. This approach seemed the cleanest to me since I can have all my changes within a single file and have them deployed with the rest of my application. </p> <p>I've created a <code>webconfig.MyApp.xml</code> file as suggested in the documentation, deployed it to the <code>&lt;SharePoint 14 hive&gt;\Config</code> folder, but my changes are not being propagated to my applications web.config.</p> <p>Below is a sample snippet from my supplemental config file.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &lt;actions&gt; &lt;add path="configuration/appSettings"&gt; &lt;add key="MyFeatureKey" value="MyFeatureValue" /&gt; &lt;/add&gt; &lt;/actions&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would like to avoid having to manually edit the web.config since those changes can easily be lost during SharePoint maintenance, etc.</p> <p>If you have any ideas on an alternate maintainable approach to deploying web.config changes, my ears are open.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The answers that have been given so far are great and I'm sure they will work. But I'm looking for a solution that can be packaged up within my single <code>WSP</code> and deployed without any additional steps required.</p>
