Application Tab, ASP.NET Configuration Settings Dialog Box 

  • Artículo

The Application tab of the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box lets you manage three types of configuration settings:

  • Common compilation, page, and run-time settings.

  • Globalization settings.

  • Identity settings.

To display the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box from the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

  1. Open the Properties dialog box for the Web application.

  2. Click ASP.NET, click Edit Configuration, and then click Application.

The settings that you make in the Application tab apply to the Web application that you selected before displaying the Properties dialog box. The settings that you apply in the Application tab will appear in the system.web configuration section of the Web.config file for the Web application.

NoteNote

Configuration settings can be inherited. Settings can be defined in the Machine.config file, which acts as the base configuration for all Web sites and Web applications on the server. You can create new settings or override inherited settings by making configuration settings at the Web-application level.

Tasks

  • Using the Application tab, you can complete the following tasks:

  • Set the default language for the ASP.NET pages in the Web application.

  • Set the default theme and master page for the Web application.

  • Enable debugging for the Web application.

  • Specify the maximum number of seconds a request can run before it is automatically shut down by ASP.NET.

  • Set content encoding character sets for requests, responses, and culture settings, which determine the results of culture-dependent functions, such as the date, number, and currency formatting.
