I'm trying to open the web configuration so I can encrypt/decrypt it but it's failing. I'm doing this on Web Developer 2010 Express on my desktop where I setup a website as a filesystem. Here are the ways I've tried.
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath);
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/");
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/web.config");
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(/AppNameHere);
Every time I get error: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to map the path '/'.
Any ideas?
