help to put directory path to app.config file

[Vicky via DotNetMonster.com]

Please help to put directory path to app.config file!

//DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(" C:\\Vicky Development\\Fu ndExplorer\
\Index\\Copy of IntlIndex");

//string dipath = @"C:\Vicky Development\Fun dExplorer\Index \Copy of
IntlIndex";

//DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(d ipath);

System.Configur ation.AppSettin gsReader appReader =

new System.Configur ation.AppSettin gsReader();

string diPath = (string)appRead er.GetValue(

"DirectoryPath" ,typeof(string) );

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(d iPath);

// Get a reference to each file in that directory.

FileInfo[] fiArr = di.GetFiles();

----------------------------------------------------------
in app.config file, it looks like below, it seems complain "\\" or @

Could anyone help what should be the right syntax?
Thanks a lot!

Your app.config has VickydDevelopme nt instead of Vicky Development.

Hi,

You cannot modify app.config,

If you want to get a value stored there use
ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs

ITOH you do not need to use @ in the XML file, all you have to do is enclose
the value in "

neither you need a ; at the end

<add key="DirectoryP ath" value="C:\Vicky dDevelopment\Fu ndExplorer\Inde x\Copy
of IntlIndex" />
cheers,
