Am I the only C# develeoper who HATES web config files....?

These files are a pain to work with, are full of meaningless gibberish, and we are expected to add this guff without any support from Visual Studio... Does anyone know every section and item that a web config file can hold?

You can create and add your own custom sections, so I guess the answer to that question is 'no' :) Have you tried appsettings.json yet?
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Lucky you weren't around when we were using the Registry....

In a word: no.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

It all means something and rarely do I ever have to make any changes to web.config. Why are you fooling around with it?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You're going to propose a better alternative?

I'm not sure how replacing a
<>delimited tag soup with a{}delimited tag soup that doesn't allow comments is supposed to be an improvement. :rolleyes:Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I agree.. it's fine for simple stuff, much like XML was. When you've got 200+ lines of config json to look through, it's not so easy.. :~

I don't see any reason why a c# developer would hate web.config or app.config as they provide the flexibility to change the configuration level things without rebuilding and redeploying the application. They are quite useful in my opinion. :)

Sometimes, code is easier.

Nope! Most definitely not the only one. Though, I did just get done writing an interpreter that executes fairly simple scripts written in XML.

Ok, to clarify. The web/app config files of themselves are ok. Better than Registry entries ;) Working with them, however, is a pain. There's very little intellisense, and finding out what you need to add is difficult. Yes, I am proposing something better - Visual Studio should have a GUI tool to create these files, with drop-down menus of choices, check-boxes for true/false options, etc.
