VS NET 2003 and app.config

[adi]

Hi

When building a project, the app.config file (if exists) will be copied
to current configuration folder (i.e. Debug or Release) with a
different name: <proj_name>.exe.config.
Recently, I have painfully discovered that storing settings to this
file is all wrong - the file is not updatable (anyway, not using
standard methods). So, I decided to keep my settings to a different XML
file.
Anyway, I want my file to be included in the project, just as
app.config file is, so I can modify it, then - and this is the
important thig - to instruct the compiler to copy the file to active
configuration folder - just as app.config is.

Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi Manish
Thanks, I will dig it.

Hi,
In the Build Events, choose to run a Post-Build event when a successful
build occurs and add a Post-Build event command line of:

copy "$(ProjectDir)CustomUser.config" "$(TargetDir)"

In the following URL you will find explanation in detail.It is explaining
exactly what you are looking for:
