Well, web.config is a XML-based configuration file. If you see the above example, you can make sure that all the elements are based on XML standards. Obviously, we can develop a tool for modifying and editing this configuration file. A web.config can appear in any directory on an ASP.NET Web application server. Said this, if you have a web.config file in the directory "c:\inetpub\wwwroot", then the settings specified in the web.config is applicable to all the subdirectories under wwwroot. Each sub-directory can have its own web.config file and it will overwrite the settings of the web.config file in the parent directory.
