How to access httpRuntime section of web.config from codebehind?

Question

actually i need the maxRequestLength value of the httpRuntime section in web.config to check if a postedfile's size is greater. What's the best way to read it?

Thank you in advance.

You can try something like

HttpRuntimeSection section = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/httpRuntime") as HttpRuntimeSection;

you can then get section.MaxRequestLength
