Playing with Episerver webconfig settings programmatically

Hi Guys,

Sometimes we need to read, write or update some of the property from the Episerver web.config so Episerver provided a class called "EPiServerFrameworkSection". By using this class we can achieve this.

I found this class very handy and I used this many times when I have to read, write and update the settings on web.config programmatically.

This exists in "EPiServer.Framework.Configuration" namespace.

Some Examples-

Reading providers from config-

ProviderSettingsCollection virtualRoles = EPiServerFrameworkSection.Instance.VirtualRoles.Providers;
ProviderSettingsCollection blobProviders = EPiServerFrameworkSection.Instance.Blob.Providers;

Reading connections string -

var ConnectionStrings = EPiServerFrameworkSection.Instance.CurrentConfiguration.ConnectionStrings;

Reading Appdata path-

string appData = EPiServerFrameworkSection.Instance.AppData.BasePath;

There are lots of other options as well that you can explore on your own. Here are some great documentation from Episerver
