Here's the basic skeletal structure of the web.config file:
The web.config File
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration><appSettings>...</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>...</connectionStrings>
<system.web>...</system.web>
</configuration>
The <appSettings> section allows you to add your own miscellaneous
pieces of information. You'll learn how
to use it in the next section.
The <connectionStrings> section allows you to define the connection
information for accessing a database.
The <system.web> section holds every ASP.NET setting you'll need to
configure.
