5 minutes to have your web.config keys in order


This time I will not post any C# codes ;). I will only inform you that I am in the middle of the development of two small tools which will (hopefully) make deployers life easier.
The first one is used to create simple web.config plans - you will be able to create plans for your sites and use those plans in the future to check if everything is in order.
The second one is what I call "the player" it will receive those plans and play their recorded actions against selected sites. This way you can always check if some of your sites is still configured properly. After the check is completed - you will be able to export the results to CSV file so you can use them as a checklist.


Another post will be posted here when the tools come out and you will be able to find them (free of charge) on my site ChameleonBulgaria.com, so check it too (by the way the site is Under Construction but I will complete it too, unfortunatelly I am the only person to work on it, but this is also subject to change).


I also plan to develop the ability those tools to receive the site / host name and output file name as a parameters so they can be scheduled easilly to run on their own, so all you will need to do is take a look at the files from time to time to make sure everything is still working smooth.
