One of the unique features introduced since the initial products is the ability to configure specific deployment-related properties via web.config. WebUI.NET Framework further enhanced this capability by adding more properties which are 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 increase effectiveness and efficiency particularly for maintenance purpose.

Following is the list of properties that are configurable through web.config:

SharedScriptDirectory
ScriptDirectory
ImagesDirectory
LocalizationDirectory
RuntimeLicenseKey
MenuCssFile
EnableV3XAPISupport
HelpURL
AllowAutoDataCaching
CacheServerConnection
RenderingMode

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 and LocalizationDirectory to all WebGrid V6.0.7200 instances in the application.

<configuration>

      <appSettings>

               <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v7_0_7200.ScriptDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/WebGrid/V7_0_7200/" />

               <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v7_0_7200.ImagesDirectory" value="~/CommonLibrary/Images/" />

               <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v7_0_7200.SharedScriptDirectory" value="/CommonLibrary/Shared/" />

               <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v7_0_7200.LocalizationDirectory" value="/CommonLibrary/WebGrid/V7_0_7200/Localization/" />

               <add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.v7_0_7200.CacheServerConnection" value="path=C:\Cache" />

      </appSettings>

      ... other settings

</configuration>
