Examples

Site.Config Example

This example depends on a Smartsite.Test.config file in the site root directory (not the web root), containing the following xml:

The "encrypted" node is to be encrypted using the configprotect tool in the site's Bin folder:

	Copy Code
ConfigProtect.exe /encrypt /xpath:"//sc:encrypted" Smartsite.Test.config

Note that the GetValue viper doesn't resolve when trying to select an encrypted part of the config file.
