Yes.
In ASP.NET applications, typically, only one web.config
file is used per application. However, you can have multiple web.config
files in different directories within the application’s folder structure. These additional web.config
files can be used to override or supplement settings specified in the root web.config
.
For example, if you have a subdirectory within your ASP.NET application that needs specific configurations different from the root web.config
, you can place a web.config
file in that subdirectory to provide those configurations. This allows for finer control over settings at different levels of your application’s directory structure.
So, the correct answer to the question “Can we have multiple web config files for an ASP.NET application?” would be: Yes, multiple web.config
files can be used in an ASP.NET application, typically to provide specific configurations at different directory levels within the application’s folder structure.
