Can you modify the web.config and NOT restart the ASP.NET application?
appdomain, application-pool, application-restart, asp.net, web-config
Solution
Yes, you can; see this answer.
However, it is not a good idea. Until ASP.Net restarts the AppDomain, it will not look at `web.config`. If you change `web.config`, your changes will have no effect until the AppDomain is restarted.
