string from webconfig

Guys,

Can I change this...

<asp:XmlDataSource ID="xmlDataSourceSections" runat="server" DataFile="~/Physical.xml" XPath="/PPRObject/Section" />

To take a path from my webconfig for the datafile?

AppSetting("PhysicalTemplate")

Thanks
Bob

In the codebehind, you can do this:

Code:

---

xmlDataSourceSections.DataFile = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("PhysicalTemplate").ToString()

---

(Not sure if the .tostring is required)

Not required.

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings

This method returns string only

Ah, good to know. I sometimes end up using ToString() because I cannot be bothered to move my mouse over AppSettings to look at its property type and yet I can be bothered to sit here and type about it in a long winded sentence on a forum.
