I'm in the process of writing an HttpModule in ASP.NET 2.0 / Whidbey and have run into a problem when trying to get the maximum HTTP upload limit. The following code works great in ASP.NET 1.1, but in 2.0 the call to get the property returns null. I have tried using both GetConfig (now obsolete in ASP.NET 2.0) and GetSection methods.

private int MaxRequestLength(HttpContext context) { // Load the httpruntime section from the config file. object section = context.GetConfig("system.web/httpRuntime"); Type configSection = section.GetType(); if (null != configSection) { // Use reflection to get the MaxRequestLength property from the section. PropertyInfo pInfo = configSection.GetProperty("maxRequestLength", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic); if (null != pInfo) return (int)pInfo.GetValue(section, null); } return -1; }

Can anyone help?
