Updating .net 4.0 machine.config seems to have no effect
- by Jon P
I'm feeling stupid.
I've just created my first ASP.net 4.0 site after working my way though over the years from 1.1 upwards. We have several settings at the machine.config level that I need to migrate to the new 4.0 machine.config. I though I had be adding the required connection strings to the connection string section of the following two files:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\machine.config
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\machine.config
When I created a new website in IIS and assigned it to the ASP.net 4.0 Application pool I only get the default LocalSqlServer connection string. I tried editing the name of this in the two files above to indicate which file it was in, but there was no change.
Are there machine.config files in other locations I should be looking at?
