When starting an ASP.NET web application the configurations of Web.config are loaded.
As I want to load a elmah.config and a log4net.config, I want to know more about the flow of loading for .config files.
All them will be handled by Global.asax, exist some good patter to load config files?
There is some information in Appendix A: The configuration collection cascade which is part of a longer article on Configuration in .NET. This doesn’t address the impact of the ordering of sections within a single web.config file though. I would assume that the ordering of the external config sections should not matter otherwise you would have random problems if you go to add sections at a later point and just add them at the end (one common place to put them).
