Hi All,
I've wrote a windows service, and I'm trying to find a way to reload the
app.config <add> tags at runtime.
It looks like the dot net framework does not support it in any way.
Please replay if you know how can I do it.
Thanks

I don't think you can do that. I believe the file is parsed when the app
domain first loads and it's never actually looked at again.
You could always use an INI file or a custom XML file with your settings and
load it whenever you want. App.config is bad in any case, especially for
applications that require per-user settings (as opposed to machine-specific
ones).

Klaus,
Thanks for you fast replay, the thing is I'm not going to change the
app.config file very often, but my main problem is to change it on the
production server and I believe everybody have to do it sometime J.
Are you sure Microsoft did not come up with a solution to this problem, I’m
sure lots of developers faced this problem before I did and it should be
very common thing.
Thanks

Well a Google search doesn't turn up anything interesting other than
recommendations to use something else or unload the application.

I want to have a config file with my python proggie, satisfying the
following requirements:
1) support key->(value, default)
2) simple and intuitive to read and edit
3) easyly readable into a python datastructure (a dictionary?)
4) not requiring any heavy libraries needed (I am distributing my
proggie as a py2exe executable and do not want to bloat the size)
can you guys suggest some format for this? thanks,

There have been a couple of config file 'systems' announced recently,
that focus on building more powerful and complex configuration files.
ConfigObj is a module to enable you to much more *simply* access
config files.
This is version 3, which is a big overhaul. It extends ConfigObj to
reading config files with sections and various other simplifications.
I find ConfigObj extremely easy to use and use it for reading config

I am using VS.NET 2003 and vb. I build my application MyApp and it generates

connection string setting, and a user level starting location setting.
The machine level setting and the default user based setting is of
course stored in the app.exe.config file located in the same directory

creates a user.config file in the appdata directory in my profile.

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,...
