One of the unique features introduced since the earlier products is the ability to configure specific deployment-related properties via web.config. WebDesktop.NET V2.5 further enhanced this capability by adding more properties configurable through web.config. Now it also supports relative application path by using ~ character. The application-wide Configurations feature allows centralized configuration for common deployment properties such as ScriptDirectory etc, which dramatically increasing effective and efficient maintenance.
Following are the list of properties that are configurable through web.config.
- SharedScriptDirectory
- ScriptDirectory
- ImagesDirectory
- ViewStateStorage
- RuntimeLicenseKey
- PageCachePriority
- PageCacheDuration
There are numerous base properties that you can configure as well. For more information on base properties, please see the Framework's Application Wide Configurations.
 |
The settings specified in web.config will only be applied to instances' properties that have Default value (unchanged). |
The format of the key used for the configuration is AssemblyFullName.vProductVersion.Properties.
Examples:
The sample configuration in web.config below will change the property value of ScriptDirectory, ImagesDirectory, SharedScriptDirectory to all WebDesktop V2_5_2007 instances in the application.
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.V2_5_2007.ScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/WebDesktop/V2_5_2007/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.V2_5_2007.ImagesDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/Images/" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.V2_5_2007.SharedScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/Shared/" />
</appSettings>
... other settings
</configuration>

Additional application-wide configurations may be available specifically per product. Please refer to the Application-wide Configurations topic in the product's help file. |
