Topic: Configuration in ASP.NET 2.0

Speaker:  Dan Hermes

At the hub of  ASP.NET applications are configuration files: web.config and
machine.config.
Configuration settings determine critical aspects of your app: authentication,
state management,
and database Connections, among others.  Here are some of the issues we cover:

* Web Site Administration Tool (WAT): GUI access to the web.config file

* Authentication types: Forms, Windows, and Passport - Which to use and when?

* Custom Errors: what they're good for, and when other options would be better

* State Management: in process, out of process, SqlServer and custom - how to
decide?

* Connection Strings: how to use them in the config file?

* Scalability: single user vs. web farm
