The web.config file is the configuration file of the web
application. This means that the configuration settings of
the application [such as authentication, authorisation,
tracing, debugging, connectionstrings, ...] can be changed
through the web.config file.
The main advantage is that that the changes made in the
web.config file will be applicable to the web application
without having to change the code of the application and
without recompiling the application.
The root folder of a web application can have only one
web.config file. But any inner/ sub folders can have a
web.config file. It web.config file in the sub folders will
override the one in the root folder of the application.

Answer / karteek
Web.Config can be only one in a web application's root but
it may contain any number of web.config files inside the
subfolders of the application
The web.config file in subfolder overrides the web.config in
the root for that folder in which it is present.
If a subfolder doesnot has a web.config then the web.config
in the root is uses as usual

Answer / skumar
Web config file is a XML file, that contains information
about the application level settings. This is most useful
feature to change the hard coded things.
Usually only one config file will be used in the web
applications. That resides in the root folder of web
application. But the developer can create one config file
for each folder. It will take from the current level hierarchy.

Answer / moreshwar
we can have only single web.config file to each folder.in
the nested folder we can define the different configuration
for current folder files the only condition is we need to
mark the web.config as override. we generally need such type
of multiple web.config files @ the time of authentication.
where you will have different types of
user(employee,student,senior citizen) and each users needed
to check for authentication at different folders. like
employee,student,senior citizen etc. such operations can be
done in web.config.
