Morning!
I am developing an winform application in c#. I have an app.config file that
contains an entry with a Url address assigned to it. When I run my
application I get the following error:
The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name.
After doing some research, the problem is not the semi-colon. It's the
ampersand in the Url that is causing the error.
What is the problem? Can you not assign an & character to a string in the
App.Config? When I remove it, my application runs. I've tried rebooting and
everything.
Thanks,
Yosh

app.config is an XML document, some characters are illegal in XML (&, <, >,
probably others). You may have to HTMLEncode the values to store them
there. (& becomes &, etc.)
Just tried using the new "Settings Page, Project Desinger" in VS 2005. I
tried adding a url with an & in it. When I looked at the app.config file
(that is where it saves this stuff), I see it did convert it to &

I found my web.config file always in lock mode, when I tried to modify it, I
ofter got "Can not create web.config" error. I had to reboot my machine, and
before I accessed any site I can modify it. I think microsoft creates the

service. I am not sure why my web.config works like that? Could someone
explain this to me? And is there a easier way I can modify the config...

Hi all,
I have a solution with 4 projects: a class library, a windows app, a windows

communication with the database and its classes are used by both the
application and the service. I have stored the database connection string in
an app.config file located in the class library project.
Everything was working fine on my dev box, but when I migrated to the QA
box, I...

I need to download a greater than 4 megabyte attachment via WSE / DIME. The
only way I know how to configure this is via a .config file. Normally, the
..config file is the same name as the base application. I built a .NET driver
program to test this, NetBrokerDriver and provided a
NetBrokerDriver.exe.config file which specifies the following:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
