Hi!
I created a .settings file and added some values. All values are user set
defined.
When i load my windows service i can read from the .config file. But, i can
set a value and save to the file.
What am i missing? Are there any security issues?
I have tried to add assembly to set full trust, but then i cant install my
windows service.
Regards
Martin

Hello Martin Arvidsson, Visual Systems AB,
You can't save data to the .config, it's design approach
Use XML file to store your specific settings

Well, that is strange.
For i have a windows application where the output file is called MyApp.exe
and the config file is called MyApp.exe.confi g and that file i can read and
write to.
Why cant i write to the MyService.exe.c onfig?
Dont make any sence...

The only reason I can think of why you "cannot write" to the .config file for
your service is that the credentials it is running under do not have write
permissions (unless there is actually a bug in your code).
But remember, if you write to the app.config file, your service will not
pick up the new settiings until it is restarted. Unless of course, you
"manually" reload it after saving and set them yourself.

I can read <appSettings> just fine from a normal C# windows app, so there

the location of the .config file?
any help is appreciated...
