Hi there,
I am writing a Windows App and need a Configuration file.
I wonder if I can use the WEB.CONFIG file to store my values.
I also wonder if I can use the ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs and if so,
what is the file name that it automatically look for.
Thanks,
Filippo 3 3136
Filippo,
Within a Windows App, the web.config is called app.config, you continue to
use ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs to get values &
ConfigurationSe ttings.GetConfi g to get custom sections.
Within your VS.NET project you need to add your config file to your VS.NET
project's root folder as app.config, it needs to be named "app.config "
without the quotes. When you
build your project VS.NET (both 2002 & 2003) will copy the app.config file
from the project root to your output folder and name it appropriately
(myproject.exe. config).
It is important that you add the file to your VS.NET project as app.config.
While when you deploy your app you call it myproject.exe.c onfig where
myproject is the name of your executable, and myproject.exe.c onfig is in the
same folder as your exe.
Hope this helps

The config file can be named either app.config or yourappname.exe .config

Jonathan,
Please read what I said, it cannot be called yourappname.exe .config in the
VS.NET project! Period! (Actually it can but it will not be copied, so what
good is it?)
Also if you are using VS.NET 2003 it has to be in the root folder of your
VS.NET project, as VS.NET 2003 will replace any config file in your output
folder (the output folder is normally bin) to ensure that the copy in your
bin folder matches the Supported Runtimes setting under the Project Property
Pages.
VS.NET 2002 supports the app.config in your project root, however VS.NET
2002 does not remove it from the output folder.
Try it, I have.
Hope this helps

I'm working in VS2003.NET, with C#.
I use app.config to store the connection string to my SQL Server. This
works fine.
Lately I've been taking work home where the connection string is
different. I deal with this by having app.config.home and
app.config.work files which I copy over the app.config file as required
by my location.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to make changes to
an application's App.config file at runtime and then be able to access
those changes immediately.
The following is an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
I tried a test by creating a simple app Test.exe that has some basic
settings made available to it in the runtime file Test.exe.config.

I've written a Windows Service using C#, but I cannot seem to figure out how
to cancel or prevent the service from starting under certain conditions.
For example, in the OnStart I read in some configuration settings, and if
anything is either empty, or invalid (such as a DB DataSource string or a
missing diredtory, etccc) I don't want the servie to start. So how would I
cancel the start up?

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
