    <h2>Background</h2> <ul> <li>We are using a reporting tool which is .NET based.</li> <li>The reporting tool uses a settings file which is a pain to update between environments (doesn't do transformations, etc.)</li> <li>The reporting tool allows us to write .NET plugins to be run at certain times so I can modify the settings file on the fly</li> <li>We have access to IIS and can add settings / connection strings at that level</li> </ul> <h2>Goal</h2> <p>I'd like to: </p> <ul> <li>Simplify deployment by moving all connection strings &amp; settings to the IIS server-level settings. <ul> <li>even our developers have IIS available locally so this won't be a problem for them.</li> </ul></li> <li>Use the .NET plugin that I'm writing to connect to the server the app resides on and pull the connection strings and settings files.</li> </ul> <h2>Question</h2> <p>How can I access server-level IIS connection settings programatically from within a .NET class?</p> <h2>Notes / Things to Consider</h2> <ul> <li>This application does not use a web.config. <ul> <li><strong>EDIT:</strong> While apparently the app doesn't use a web.config, one does exist when the app is deployed, so theoretically I could access it via the .NET plugin.</li> </ul></li> <li>These are actually technically 5 different web sites. I'll be implementing the plugin the same way for each web site</li> <li>The IIS servers are only used for this purpose, so I'd like the settings &amp; configuration elements to be global across all of the web applications.</li> </ul>

    3. CO@Tigran, making sure I understand your suggestion. Are you suggesting to deploy a small web service on each IIS server and have that service spit back certain values, and then use HttpClient from within .NET to do a request to those web services? That's probably doable, but since this dll will always reside on the server with the IIS instance in question, I was hoping to avoid all that.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
