Chapter 25. The System.Web.Configuration Namespace
The System.Web.Configuration
namespace includes a few miscellaneous types used in ASP.NET
configuration with the web.config file;
AuthenticationMode,
FormsAuthPasswordFormat, and
FormsProtectionEnum are all involved in ASP.NET
security services. It also provides a
ClientTargetSectionHandler class, which provides
the basic functionality for processing tags in the
web.config file, and
HttpCapabilitiesBase, which stores a collection of
client browser information used by the
System.Web.HttpBrowserCapabilities class. Figure 25-1 shows the types in this namespace.
If you've explored the
machine.config file, you have probably noticed
that there are many other types referenced there that
don't appear in this class library reference or the
MSDN (including configuration types like
HttpCapabilitiesSectionHandler and
AuthenticationConfigHandler). These private types
aren't available to the client programmer and are
part of the low-level ASP.NET infrastructure.
