Hello,

Occasionally, my web.config file will get scrambled and I have no idea why.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks, sck10...

It goes from this:

<add
name="ConnOracleIPS2"
connectionString="DATA SOURCE=kms_snap.ih.lucent.com;
USER ID=ips;
PASSWORD=p30pl3"/>

to this:

<add name="ConnOracleIPS2" connectionString="DATA
SOURCE=kms_snap.ih.lucent.com;
USER ID=ips;

PASSWORD=p30pl3"/>
 
Hello Steve,

From your description, you found that your ASP.NET web application's
web.config will be changed randomly ,correct?

As for this issue, I'd like to confirm the following things:

1. Is this a common issue with all the web applications in your development
machine or specific to the particular web site project?

2. is the connectionstring section you posted the only fragement that will
be scrambled?

3. Can you definitely repro this problem behavior by performing some
certain actions in the VS 2005 ide?

So far based on my experience, the IDE will only change web.config when we
add some strong-name assembly reference, or there is any program that
change it externally (such as the web admin site)...

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else you find.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hi Steven,

This only happens on the development machine and even though intermittent,
many times, it would happen after I ran "Start Debugging".

The sections that would be affected were contained to:
<connectionStrings>...</connectionStrings>
and
<appSettings>...</appSettings>

Thanks, sck10

I experienced the same problem a while ago, but only regarding my
connection-strings.
That is, only if I included line breaks within the string-tags, which I
included for readability. After I removed them I never experienced that
issue again.

Cheers,
Olaf
