This control provides a "drag and drop" way to dynamically view and edit application and database connection settings in a Web.config file for an ASP.NET website. The control can be dropped onto a blank ASPX page and by default, it will display editable controls for all the settings in the <appSettings> and <connectionSettings> sections of the Web.config file.

If you want to find out programmatically what authentication mode the current ASP.NET website is running under you can actually read it from the web.config file using the code below. 

System.Web.Configuration.AuthenticationSection section = 
    (System.Web.Configuration.AuthenticationSection)System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.web/authentication");
