Nothing easy about editing a couple thousand line xml file. Especially when it's on the server and you have to do it with notepad.

- nawitus 13y agoWhich is why IIS has a GUI tool to do it, and with .NET you can edit the configuration with a few lines of code.
- GFischer 13y agoIt being on the server precludes opening an IDE? That said, I agree that it would be better if it isn't a thousand lines, and maybe there are better options than XML. The company I work for is a Microsoft shop (for now, switching to Java sadly), and I've edited a lot of web.configs in servers, sometimes using Notepad, and it wasn't much of a hassle (though I did have to research what to edit beforehand in some cases).
- thirsteh 13y agoYou have IDEs installed on your production servers...?
- Osiris 13y agoMy comment was refuting the parent's comment that IIS needed a GUI because it used the Windows Registry to store configuration information.
