c# - moving asp.net membership specific settings to a separate config file -

is possible move asp.net membership/role settings separate config file. helpful custom membership providers.

<authentication  mode="forms">   <forms loginurl="~/login.aspx" timeout="144600" slidingexpiration="true"> </authentication> <membership defaultprovider="testmembership">    <providers>       <add name="testmembership" type="test.membership.testmembership">    </providers> </membership> <rolemanager enabled="true" defaultprovider="testrole"              cacherolesincookie="true" cookiename=".test" cookietimeout="1440"              cookiepath="/">    <providers>       <add name="testrole" type="test.membership.testrole" />    </providers> </rolemanager> 

any .net configuration section can externalized - try this:

<authentication configsource="auth.config" /> <membership configsource="members.config" /> <rolemanager configsource="roles.config" /> 

or whatever names want use.

the individual files need contain whole section you've externalized:

auth.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <authentication  mode="forms">   <forms loginurl="~/login.aspx" timeout="144600" slidingexpiration="true"> </authentication> 

members.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <membership defaultprovider="testmembership">    <providers>       <add name="testmembership" type="test.membership.testmembership">    </providers> </membership> 

roles.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <rolemanager enabled="true" defaultprovider="testrole"              cacherolesincookie="true" cookiename=".test" cookietimeout="1440"              cookiepath="/">    <providers>       <add name="testrole" type="test.membership.testrole" />    </providers> </rolemanager>
