The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attribute	Description

None.

Element	Description
configuration	Specifies the required root element in every configuration file that is used by the common language runtime and the .NET Framework applications.
system.web	Specifies the root element for the ASP.NET configuration settings in a configuration file and contains configuration elements that configure ASP.NET Web applications and control how the applications behave.
appSettings	Contains custom application settings, such as file paths, XML Web service URLs, or any information that is stored in the .ini file for an application.

The remove element removes a reference to an inherited custom application setting from the collection of application settings that are stored in the appSettings element.

The appSettings element stores custom application configuration information, such as file paths, XML Web service URLs, or any information that is stored in the .ini file for an application. The key/value pairs that are specified in the appSettings element can be accessed in code by using the ConfigurationSettings class.

The following example configuration file shows how to remove a reference to a custom application setting that was defined at a higher level in the configuration file hierarchy.

<configuration>
   <appSettings>
      <remove key = "Application Name" />
   </appSettings>
</configuration>
