HttpRuntimeConfig MaxRequestLength

[bixbarton]

Does anyone know how to obtain the MaxRequestLengt h easily?

I have found that if you do the following;

object getCon = HttpContext.Get AppConfig("syst em.web/httpRuntime")

Then look at getCon in debug, you can see the HttpRuntimeConf ig object
with the MaxRequestLengt h in it, but you cannot cast the object to
HttpRuntimeConf ig, so cannot programmaticall y get at the
MaxRequestLengt h property.

Anyone have a clue about this?

I'm using .NET 1.1 and C#

I'm starting to think that opening the machine.config and parsing the
XML is going to be the only way, however I also will need a way of
querying .NET to get the path to machine.config to avoid hardcoding it.

Re: HttpRuntimeConf ig MaxRequestLengt h

Figured it out...

Int32 maxRequestLengt h = 0;
object untypedHttpRunt ime =
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ge tConfig("system .web/
httpRuntime");
if (untypedHttpRun time != null)
{
Type type = untypedHttpRunt ime.GetType();
FieldInfo maxRequestLengt hField = type.GetField(" _maxRequestLeng th",
(BindingFlags.I nstance | BindingFlags.Pu blic |
BindingFlags.No nPublic));
if (maxRequestLeng thField != null)
{
object result = maxRequestLengt hField.GetValue (untypedHttpRun time);
if (result != null)
{
maxRequestLengt h = Convert.ToInt32 (result);
}
}
}
