This element specifies the configuration elements and configuration section
that configure ASP.NET Web applications and control how the application
behaves.
Syntax:
The syntax of the system.web element is such as:
<system.web>
<anonymousIdentification> <authentication> <authorization>
<caching> <clientTarget> <hostingEnvironment>
<httpCookies> <httpModules>
<httpRuntime> <identity> <machineKey> <pages>
<profile> <roleManager> <securityPolicy>
<sessionPageState> <sessionState> <siteMap> <trace>
<urlMappings> <webControls> <webParts>
<webServices> <xhtmlConformance>
</system.web>
The descriptions of the above elements are such as.
