  2. VS 2013 [RESOLVED] Specifying timeout for single page in a website

    One of our internal websites runs a particularly lengthy process (basically uploading and processing huge amounts of data from a spreadsheet). Because of the increasing size of the spreadsheets, this...
  3. VS 2013 Re: [RESOLVED] Editing a web app in VS2013 while debugging

    Thanks, Si. The edit and continue setting was causing IIS Express to close each time I stopped debugging. Turning that off allowed IIS Express to remain open, so I could navigate to the localhost in...

  6. VS 2013 Re: Retrieving elements from ConfigurationSections in App.Config

    Turns out I'd set my config up incorrectly. Instead of:


    <UAT>
    <Database>UATDatabaseName</Database>
    <Server>UATDatabaseServer</Server>
    <LogLocation>UATLogLocation</LogLocation>
    </UAT>

    It's not the budget so much as the length of time it takes to get anything approved.
