Test/Dev Environment by either port number or directory path

Test/Dev Environment by either port number or directory path
Wed, 2 Aug 2006 19:14:06 +0000
Hi All,

I have a web.config file that has database connections to my prod db.  When I'm
in test, I need to comment it out and uncomment my test db conn string.  Is
there a way to use different web.config files, for example 'web-test.config' and
'web-prod.config', and have IIS read the path or port in order to use the
correct config file?

I trying to avoid putting a snippet of code on every page to check the
environment.  If it comes down to that, then please point me to an example or to
the docs.

Thanks!

Curtis

Nothing in IIS, but you could set up two separate sites with identical files
except for the web.config.

That's exactly how I handle dev/test/prod.

Simple solution.  I didn't even think of that.  Thanks, Jeff.
