Creating Custom Configurations

Creating Custom Configurations: "ASP.Net's introduction of the web.config file went a long way to filling the configuration hole we had to deal with in classic ASP. We actually went from having very little (global.asa was the closest thing) to a well-structured, change on the fly XML file. For the most part, the web.config file does the trick fine. However there are some limitations and constraints with using it, which you are probably already aware of. What you might not know is how easy is it to surmount those issues by creating a far more flexible alternative.

There have already been a number of articles written on this, so why write another one? Well, you can never have too many tutorials explaining how to do something. My goal is to present this in a cut and paste friendly manner which you'll be able to use right away, as well as provide some insight into the architecture."
