So, appSettings can be set in app.config, web.config, machine,config... But, when you work under IIS 7 you can also have appSettings being applied under applicationHost.config with a specific carve out for your site. So, what's a consistent way for me to know what AppSettings I should be using??? System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager is fine if this is a client profile. System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager if this is a web-app ... well, maybe. Microsoft.Web.Administration if I expect values in applicationHosting.config - ouch ... and even then they don't roll-up hierarchically so it seems that you're left holding that process. Does anyone have a consistent approach to processing AppSettings that accounts for applicationHost.config?

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.
