Hi Guys,

Is there any way we can assign value of key to the property of handler in web.config ?

e.g

<add key="FileLocation" value="Log/test.html" />

<handlers>
<add name="XYZ" verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="{FileLocation}" type="Test.App" />
</handlers>

Thanks in Advance.

Your question doesn't make any sense at all. One has nothing to do with the other.

What do you mean by "assign the value of key to the property of handler"? What property?

Hi Dave, I think you didn't check the example properly.

I defined key filelocation in appsettings and want to use this value in the path property of handler XYZ.

Its like define a variable and use its value at multiple locations.

I think, now you understand the question, if not please let me know.

Cheers.

Oh, I read it alright and I understand what each piece means. It was your explanation that was lacking in detail precisely what you wanted to do.

You cannot specify a variable-replaced path like that anywhere in the app.settings and expect it to work. There is no in-built support for it.

Hi Dave,

Is there anyway, we can achieve this ?
Otherwise, it's a tedious task to maintain same value at different places.

Cheers,
Adi.

The question is not "how to do this", but "why do you think you need to"?

What are you trying to accomplish with this?

Basically I am using elmah and i am applying custom authentication on elmah.axd file. When elmah handler is registered in web.config it has a path property in it. I want to set the value of this path property by the appsetting key.

That's why i need it.
Cheers,
Adi.

Using what?

The "elmah" I'm familiar with refers to any error error logging module. Why on earth would you put authentication on that? And why are you trying to change the path of the registered module.
