Reading a config file from a .DLL

I have a dotnet wrapper service running on a service that calls one of our
custome components. I would like to read the appsettings section from a
config file, but because this is a class file reather than an .exe,
app.config is not configured as [appname].exe.config when compiled.

What is the best way to read the app.config file from the .dll?

The configuration for your DLL goes into the app.config file for the exe
itself.

Hi there I am exposing a c# assembly as a COM component (regasm /codebase) and calling it from classic asp. When I try to call the ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings function in the c# assembly, it does not return the values from my web.config. The web.config is located in the root of the web application. The classic asp page that calls the COM exposed c# assembly is located in a subfolder called message. Can anyone help me out here?

Hi, I have a configuration file I made in xml which I am using to name a database server. (this way I can deploy my web page on various servers, and just change this file to make it work). Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to read this from the server side code behind file (either vb or c#). Can anyone post some sample code for this. Thanks, Martin

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
