asked on
how to reference another config file within web.config
hi,
i am trying to use enterprise library logging application in my web pages. i have two options:
1) add all the logging configuration (see attached) to my web.config,
2) have my web.config reference another config file with the logging configuration.
i prefer option 2 because it's more flexible, can someone tell me how to do it? thanks.

i tried it using a console app, with Logging.config being the config source, now i am getting this:
"Unable to open configSource file 'Logging.config'. (C:\\dotnet\\FrameworkLogT
But if i open app.config using the EL Config editor, i am able to see the content of loging.config, ie TraceListener type. See attached files.
App.config.txt
Logging.config.txt

thanks, hopefully it will work in web.cofig as well, i will try it out tomorrow.
then put everything into whatever.xml (the root should be LoggingConfiguration)
Cheers,
