How to read system.web section from web.config

Question

Should be simple, but whatever I try returns null:

const string key = \"system.web\";

var sectionTry1 = WebConfigurationManager.GetSection(key);

var sectionTry         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me:

public Int32 GetmaxRequestLength()
{
    // Set the maximum file size for uploads in bytes.
    var section = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/httpRuntime") as HttpRuntimeSection;
    // return length converted to kbytes or return default value as specified
    return (Int32) Math.Round((decimal)(section != null ? (double)section.MaxRequestLength * 1024 / 1000 : 5.120), 2);
}
