properties file

[ffmelo]

I need something like java.util.Properties class...
I want to store properties in a text file and to get at runtime.

Example in java:

text file
------
propertieName1=propertieValue1
propertieName2=propertieValue2
propertieName3=propertieValue3
------

So, using Properties class I can get the properties by name.
And I can change the properties values without need to compile the
aplication again.

Thanks.

Hi,

you can store you properties in your app.config file:

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="PropertyName" value="value"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
and get them via:

string s =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings["PropertyName"];

propertieName2=propertieValue2
propertieName3=propertieValue3

Assuming you just changed values and not key names, no - you just need
to restart the application for those changes to take effect.

If you are talking about the file app.config that visual studio uses then you *will* need to perform a "build" as this is the point at which the app.config is copied with the correct name to the target directory.

Ah - good point. I didn't notice the '.' and thought he said app
config, meaning just the config file created from web.config or
app.config.

Sorry!
