AppConfig Object

The most important function of the AppConfig object is to retrieve site configuration properties, such as i_FormLoginTimeOut, i_SitePrivacyOptions, various database connection strings, and so on. The GetOptionsDictionary method of the AppConfig object performs this function; however, before using this method, the AppConfig object must be initialized.

Many of the properties that the GetOptionsDictionary method retrieves can be viewed using Commerce Server Manager in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The App Default Config node, in the Site Resources folder of the site, in Commerce Server Manager displays the current setting values.

The following table lists the names of the keys in the dictionary returned by the GetOptionsDictionary method of the AppConfig object that are mapped in the App Default Config node in Commerce Server Manager.
