I am creating an ASP.NET 2.0 application (using C#), and for some reason when I create the initial application it doesn't create the web.config file. Is this normal? I haven't touched ASP.NET in some years so I am a little rusty. I tried creating the web.config manually but can't seem to get it just right. How can I create an ASP.NET application with a bundled web.config file? Thanks.

Reset to default

From the Website menu, go to Add New Item, and pick "Web Configuration File." That will give you a vanilla web.config that you can start with.

Visual Studio will not create a web.config file for you if you create an Empty Web site, so that would be normal behavior. Otherwise, it will create one for you.

Visual Studio 2005. My apologies for not specifying. I just needed to compile with F5 and then I was prompted. Thank you.

I use VS2008 and when I hit F5, VS asks me if I want to create a default web.config (if one is not already present). What tools are you using for development ?

I found that the easiest way is just to hit F5.
