Asp Forum - Re: ASP.NET Runtime and forcing ConfigurationSettings to load

Well I found the problem...

The issue here is not that ASP.Net runtime isn't firing the startup code,
but rather that it is ignoring the full path to a configuration file set in
AppDomainSetup. Although I point at a Web.Config of the original application
it will only use one that is set up in the new ASP.Net hosting directory. So
the only solution I found is to copy web.config at least the section I need
out of it.

Incidentally, it's not possible to use the Web.Config from the Web site.
Some of the configuration settings inside of the main Web app cause the
separate Asp.Net runtime to not load - only a simple Web.Config seems to
work. <shrug>

this sucks, since it's not quite obvious what inside of web.config is
causing it to not work.
