just a quick one,
a colleague is writing a windows service, in c#. problem is the app.config
is only picked up when the service installs. i.e. subsequent changes to the
config file and then restart the service has no effect.
is this correct, app config settings are "set" on install and to change
them, you need to reinstall the service?
any ideas welcome.

Sam,
No, this is not correct. Are you truly shutting down the service, or
are you only pausing it? The app config file is read when the CLR starts up
for the process. Also, are you sure that the app config file is set to the
name of your executable, and not the install executable?

thanks nick, you're a star as ever. he's realised the error of his ways.
using a harness to test the onstart event of the service. the process isn't
oviously restarting, just the service in the process.
he says thanks

I've written a simple service that reads the app.config file on start.
It works fine if I start it from the VS IDE -- F5 then installutil
I then created a package, wherein the content of app.config has "" for the
values. With the idea that my user, can enter the information before
starting the service. However; this doesn't work. I'm very confused.
As a test, I "emptied" the app.config file and rebuilt, then did an

I have written several web applications that obtain their connection

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
