    <p>I am designing an ASP.NET MVC4 Web App project. In the root of my project, I have the customary default <code>Web.config</code> file with my corresponding elements. In particular, I have a few <code>appSettings</code> elements defined. As an example excerpt to demonstrate this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;appSettings&gt; &lt;add key="foo" value="bar" /&gt; &lt;/appSettings&gt; </code></pre> <p>Naturally, I can access this element within code using <code>ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["foo"]</code>. This works perfectly for me. However, I am creating a NuGet package alongside my project. The package is installed within its own directory under my project's <code>Areas</code> directory. Here, in my package's root, I have another <code>Web.config</code> file. This is so that, when another user imports the NuGet package, the configuration for the package resources is native to the package. Let the package's <code>Web.config</code> contain the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;appSettings&gt; &lt;add key="dirEnabled" value="true" /&gt; &lt;/appSettings&gt; </code></pre> <p>Just to clarify in terms of relative paths, I now have two Web.config files, one at <code>./Web.config</code> and one at <code>./Areas/PackageName/Web.config</code>.</p> <p>Within my package, I want to retrieve the value for <code>dirEnabled</code>. To do so, I make the call: <code>ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["dirEnabled"]</code>. However, this throws an error. It appears as if only the collection of appSettings is being retrieved from <code>./Web.config</code> and not my package config file. <strong>Is it at all possible to grab the appSettings collection from my package's config file rather than the project root config file?</strong></p>

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.
