Asp.net configuration has changed massively from the classic ASP days of pointing and clicking using IIS and altering the odd settings dynamically via the Server or Response objects. We delve into the new configuration settings stored as XML files and look at how to change them and what exactly they contain.
Chris Ullman is an ex-Wrox Press and Glasshaus author who has spent many years stewing in ASP/ASP.NET, like a teabag left too long in the pot. Coming from a Computer Science background, he started initially as a UNIX/Linux guru, who gravitated towards MS during the summer of ASP (1997). Since then he has written on over 20 books, as lead author for the bestselling Beginning ASP/ASP.NET series, and has contributed chapters to books on PHP, ColdFusion, JavaScript, Web Services, C#, XML and other Internet-related technologies too esoteric to mention, now swallowed up in the quicksands of the dot.com boom. Quitting Wrox in August 2001, he continued life as as a freelance developer and author while helping to bring up his first child, Nye.
