Is there a simple way to recreate my accidently deleted web.config file from Visual Studio?
If you just recently created the project, you could just create a new project, copy the file into your original project folder, then open it and perform a search and replace to ensure the namespace and other project-specific info correspond to your original project.
If you remove the web. config file the website will still work. when you press F5 it will prompt you for the web.
basically web. config, unlike any other file, can be deleted..
Yes, we can run an Asp.Net web application without web. config file but without in debugging mode. If we don't configure any settings in web. config file then it consider machine.
You'll lose all your custom settings, but...
Right Click on your Project -> Add Item... -> Select 'Web Configuration File' (name it web.config)
In the future, you might want to use some form of Source Control (Git would be good for a single developer that doesn't want to worry about setting up a Source Control server).
