hi all
i wrote a windows service.
i am trying to get it to use an app.config file.
unfortunately, when the service starts,
it assumes that the ConfigurationSe ttings file
is in C:\Windows\Syst em32.
this is unacceptable to me.
rather, i would like the service to assume that the app.config file is in
the same directory as the .net windows service exe
can i do this?
Thanks
With Regards

Hi,
As far as I was aware it alreadyu does this? I have written many
service applications using the app.config file and it has always
picked it up correctly from the directory that the EXE was running.
Not sure how it does this as you correctly state the service uses the
c:\windows\syst em32 as it's working directory as it runs wihtin the
svchost.
Have you tried an compile any example services from the net and see if
you get the same problem?
Cheers,
Erik

Thinking about it, it you wanted to try setting
Environment.Cur rentdirectory in your onstart event to your working
directory and see if that works?

Hi,
How can I control the location of the bytecode files?
The reason I ask is I want to place the bytecode in a directory
different than source code for backup reasons. Our backup system is
directory based and I only want to have source code backed up, not
object files or pyc files.
Thanks,

I have created a dll with several classes in C#. One of the classes
references image files in the subdirectories of the bin/Release folder
(basically where the dll resides).
Now, I want to use the dll from a C# Windows application.
In the class that references the images in the subdirectory, I use the
following code to make use of that directory:

I want to determine within my code-behind only the location of the

I know it is dynamic, but I want to determine what the current
directory is in-code.

In VS.2005 a Windows Service can have an app.config file.

Now if my Windows Services uses three class libraries, each of it coming

eg What happens if there are trace switches of the same name with different
values in those files?
Or a the config files local to a VS project/assembly ? If so, they should

After reading some articles regarding confuguration data I'm a bit confused.
Where is the right place for storing configuration data?
- XML-files?
- registry?
- INI-files? (from a users point of view, ini-files are more comfortable to
read and edit)
Where should I store user specific config data?
Where should I store machine specific config data?

Hi,
New to windows services, but I've managed to create one and install it
successfully.
However, I'm confused about what the InstallUtil actually does. I'm not
sure if it just registers and configures the service files (exe, dll,
config, etc...) as a service or if it copies to a special location like
the GAC and runs it all from there, or if the original location of the
files is the actual location even after the InstallUtil is done.

Hi all,
We have an asp.net 1.1 app that we're in the process of converting to

This app uses forms authentication and denies all unauthenticated

open up a directory for unauthenticated users to create a login

<!-- When deploying the service library project, the content of the
config file must be added to the host's app.config file.
System.Configuration does not support config files for libraries. -->
I assume "libraries" here to mean DLL's. If that's the case, is there
any way to supply both ends of a service (client and host) with the code
for the class that describes the contact WITHOUT a duplication in
source code?
Thanks.
