    <p>I have an ASP.NET application that is part of a much larger system; it reads most of its configuration from files that are above the root level of the web application.</p> <p>As the application is already written and the format of the configuration files was chosen to ease editing by customers I cannot make use of the solution in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/820811/shared-configuration-files-in-net">“Shared configuration files in .NET”.</a></p> <p>I am hoping ASP.NET has an API I can call at startup time to tell it which file to watch. (I could write this the hard way using a “FileSystemWatcher” and catching events then doing the restart myself, however that would be a pity as ASP.NET already has the code to watch files and restart when they are changed.)</p> <p>Also what ASP.NET API do I call to get ASP.NET to restart in a nice way?</p> <p>These are some links I have found that may help: <a href="http://aspadvice.com/blogs/ericm/archive/2005/08/05/2706.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Using the FileSystemWatcher from ASP.NET</a> and <a href="http://www.vsj.co.uk/dotnet/display.asp?id=381" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Extending FileSystemWatcher to ASP.NET</a></p> <hr> <p>In one case I cached the configuration in the ASP.NET Cache and set a CacheDependency to the file. In the other case that needed faster access, I used a FileSystemWatcher and updated a static field when the configuration changed.</p> <p>(I never did find out how to restart ASP.NET from code in a reasonable way.)</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.
