Question

How do I access a value from machine.config in classic asp? I can't find the answer anywhere.... I don't even know how to begin to try to find a solution....

Answer 1

Use TextStream object.

Example:

<%
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set f=fs.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("testread.txt"), 1)
Response.Write(f.ReadAll)
f.Close

Set f=Nothing
Set fs=Nothing
%>
