Web.Config AppSettings & Caching

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi:

I have written several web applications that obtain their connection
strings from the web.config file. This is very easy to use and it makes
it easy to move an app from development into production.

I'm in the process of writing a site that will have lots of traffic so
I'm trying to save resources everyplace that I can.

My question is - do the web.config app settings get loaded once when the
application starts - or does the application read the entire XML
web.config file everytime that I request the connection string.

If the web.config is read each time then I will create a simple class
library to return the string.

Thanks for your help!

Fred
