If this is .net, you need to look at the web.config file.


>Hi,
> This is my first post, so I am sorry if I have left needed information out. Basically, I am needing to use an XML file as a control file. I need to read the XML when my ASP app starts and use the values in the XML for things like connection strings and station numbers. I figured out how I can loop through each node and read the nodeName and nodeValue, however, this method seems very cumbersome. Also, it creates problems for me if I add a node a value to my XML, or even worse a child node, that the loop won't know to check. I have only been working with XML/ASP (in fact browser technologies in general) for a few months, so if you feel I am missing something obvious, I probably am.
