web.config

[SWSDEV]

I have a custom assembly that needs to read a web.config setting. I tried putting it in the web.config in the ivr directory, but it didn'ts seem to read it.

Which web.config file should I change so a custom assembly built with the VAD can read it?

[VAD_Support]

Are you trying to use an external code execution component to do this?
How are you trying to read the configuration from your custom assembly?

[SWSDEV]

I have an assembly that is accessing a database through an entity framework model. It has to read the connection string from the web.config file of the web server. WCF services would have this same issue.

[VAD_Support]

Have you tried using a configuration file for your assembly? For example, if your assembly name is "Mylibrary.dll" you can use a configuration file named "Mylibrary.dll.config".

[SWSDEV]

Yes, I did. But does that config file get deployed to the IVR web server with the assembly when the VAD deploys? I didn't think it did, but perhaps I missed it.

[VAD_Support]

No, it is not deployed, but I wanted to see if that fixes the problem. If it does, we can change the VAD to deploy that file too, if it exists.

[SWSDEV]

I will check and see.
