Yes. If web.config file is not there, then the configuration settings are included from machine.config file. web.config file override the settings of machine.config at directory level.

Yes. Practically, you need configuration. I have never seen practical scenario where you do so.

Of course it can. If one isn't present, the runtime will attempt to apply values from machine.config.

how i can use machine.config inside of web.config One person's data is another person's program. --J.Walia

Pete OHanlon

You don't need to. By default, if a section is present in machine.config, and the same section is not present inside your web.config, the website can read the values it needs from machine.config. The important thing to note is that machine.config is seen by all .NET applications, so you should not look to modify it yourself unless you really know what you are doing. If settings are present in your web.config, and also present in machine.config, the settings from web.config will be used.
