For a sharepoint developer/Admin stsadm command is a must known command. I am going to explain how to use the stsadm command.

1.In order to retract solution from  your site, you can use the command like as follows.
stsadm -o retractsolution -name "solutionName.wsp" -url "site url from which you want to retract the solution" -immediate
2.In order to add solution to the solution repository present in the central administration
stsadm -o addsolution -filename "path to the solution present in your local hard disk/solutionName.wsp"
3.In order to deploy the solution on particular site
stsadm -o deploysolution -name "solutionName.wsp" -url "site url" -immediate -allowgacdeployment -force

There are few more use of stsadm command .You can explore if you want
Thanks

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
