Storing info in Web.config
I have a handful of methods spread across a handful of pages that act differently depending on whether or not the contents of a Session var are in one of two possible groups:
if idDept = Active
I'd like to store an array of active deparments in Web.config so that any method needing that info looks to that array.
How would i create that key in .config and how would code access that the array?

Probably...but to my way to thinking it seems easiest/cleanest to not create a new entity for something like this. I save my db's connection strings there making that string availiable to all page via a simple:
Dim connStr As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppS
So that would seem to be half my answer...create a key/value pair in <appSettings>:
<add key="idDept" value="1,5,6,9,14"/>
Dim connStr As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppS
So that would seem to be half my answer...create a key/value pair in <appSettings>:
<add key="idDept" value="1,5,6,9,14"/>
