How do I access a key value from web.config in my Razor view.
This is in my web.config in the Web Project root level.
<appSettings>
<add key="myKey" value="MyValue"/>
</appSettings>
I want to have to use the key in my Razor view.
Thank you.
The preferred method is actually:
@System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["myKey"]
It also doesn't need a reference to the ConfigurationManager assembly, it's already in System.Web.
Here's a real world example with the use of non-minified versus minified assets in your layout.
Web.Config
<appSettings>
<add key="Environment" value="Dev" />
</appSettings>
Razor Template - use that var above like this:
@if (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Environment"] == "Dev")
{
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/styles/theme.css" )">
}else{
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/styles/blue_theme.min.css" )">
}
FOR MVC
-- WEB.CONFIG CODE IN APP SETTING --
<add key="PhaseLevel" value="1" />
-- ON VIEWS suppose you want to show or hide something based on web.config Value--
-- WRITE THIS ON TOP OF YOUR PAGE--
@{
var phase = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PhaseLevel"].ToString();
}
-- USE ABOVE VALUE WHERE YOU WANT TO SHOW OR HIDE.
@if (phase != "1")
{
@Html.Partial("~/Views/Shared/_LeftSideBarPartial.cshtml")
}
