Configuration

Hi

In .NET it is possible to add a file-attribute in the appSettings-element of
a configuration-file so that if the file exists it will be used instead of
the values in the normal config-file. In .NET 2.0 there are a lot of new
configuration-sections, like connectionstrin gs, and the ease of using
Settings in projectfile, but I haven't seen any possibility to override that
settings in an external file. Is there anything like the file-attribute of
the appSettings, carried forward to any other parts of the configuration
system (for example in the connectionsstri ngs-section)?

Thanks, Eric

Eric:

If I understand your problem correctly, you can use the
OpenMappedExeCo nfiguration method of the ConfigurationMa nager to accomplish
this
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/lib...on(VS.80).aspx
Specifically, you specify a FileMap (Execonfigurati onFileName) to accomplish
this
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/lib...onfilemap.aspx

If I understand you correctly, this should work, otherwise let me know and
I'll do what I can.

Cheers,

Bill

This is interesting, I have attached my web.config file and the exception I have been logging. I created a library which provide data access to a database and a control system.

However, when I use the library in a web enviroment things...

Overview: 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,...
