    Configuration setting changes in Web.config file will affect only the current Web application. Web.config file is an XML file and you can add more than one Web.config file (in different folder) in a single web application. Each Web.config applies settings to its own directory and all the child directories below it. The changes in Web.config don’t require the reboot of the web server. ASP.NET automatically detects the changes and applies them to the running ASP.NET application.
    Some of the important settings in configuration file are as follows.
    • Database connections
    • Caching settings
    • Session States
    • Error Handling
    • Security
