ASP.net machine config file

Question

If I put configuration settings (like membership provider) DB Connnection, etc. in the "machine.config", and remove the "web.config" file from my current application, will my application work without any trouble? Is it an accepted practice in .NET?

Answer 1

You can do this but you need to be careful that all apps hosted on the server either comply or override the behaviour.
