Limits Element
The Limits element in the Web.config file restricts the number of Orders run-time objects that can be created in a user's session. Limiting the number of objects that can be created helps to prevent denial of service attacks on the Web site.
Put the Limits element within the orders element.
The following table lists the attributes of the Limits element.
