c# multiple web.config files in a single project under different folders?

Can we have multiple web.config files in a single project in c#? if yes then what is its benefit? Say I have a project ABC that has three folders under it. Now ABC has its web.config file, so does each folder under ABC. so there are total 4 web.config files. So what will be the output when I run the project?

Yes you can have multiple web.config files in the separate folders. They can be used to enable/disable modules on a per folder basis. You can even set up each of those folders as separate web sites, even sub-sites, that use some modules from the parent web.config and some from the sub-site web.config.

I wrote up a blog post in the past about using BlogEngine.NET as the main site and configuring the web.config file in sub-sites. It might be of some help to you: http://markschlegel.com/post/2011/11/26/BlogEngineNET-a-sub-site!.aspx

Yes you can. The ASP.NET MVC project templates do this to restrict browsing the Views folder.

Sure you can. An example of what this is used for is the default MVC 3 project template. There is one web.config for the site, and there is one inside the Views folder to deal with rendering the views.
