Settings files used within Assemblies and application scope

Hello,

I'm trying to use the VS2005 Settings file so as to get strongly typed
settings.
I want the following:
- Have all my application setting (with application scope) defined centrally
in my app.exe.config file
- give the right to assemblies to have their own settings file (e.g.: for
settings used only internally)

Using VS2005 together with Settings file (within a dll assembly project)
will create a .dll.config file. This means that I will have several config
file to maintain separately.
Is there a way to instruct VS2005 to place the information in the main
application configuration file (.exe.config)?

Thanks,

José

I was a Java developer so I'm used to using property files as a means to keep configuration settings for my apps. I'm wondering what options are there with ..NET? Some settings I want to include are like a root directory for a target program on the user's machine my app uses, which they would be prompted to supply at startup. Normally the registry is used for this but I'd rather not use the registry if possible. Isn't there some kind of...

I currently use statements like this in my 1.1 code. System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings I use this in DLLs that are referenced by the application. The application has this data in its app.config file. I would like to switch to the new Setting files in 2.0, but I don't know if I can access these settings from a different DLL. I can't make a reference in the DLL back to the application because that would create a...

What does mean this error? The current configuration system does not support user-scoped settings. I'm accessing a my.settings data from a DAL dll referenced by an ASP.NET app. I've a similar other application that works well. The one with the problem is an 1.1 upgraded, the one that works a native 2.0. I cannot find differences :(

The my.settings name space is easy to use to modify User settings from within code, but the application settings can't seem to be modified that easily. I want the user to be able to modify some of the application setting ( like my connection strings) through a friendly user interface on one of my forms, without having to go in the .config file with notepad. If its in my code I can do testing and validating when he chages things. Any...

I have an application that can't use the registry to save various user options and application settings. My first thought was to simply use an application configuration file but this approach seems flawed. The app config file appears to be updated with values while the application is running but when the application closes, the file seems to get restored to a pristine state and the accumulated user options and application settings are...

When using the properties designer to store application wide properties how do you get this to work across a project group containing an EXE and a collection of DLLs. I'm using C#.Net 2005. I noticed that the designer creates and app.config that gets copied to the output directory as a .exe.config or .dll.config. In this setup any Application Scope property that is in the .exe.config file can be read in from the file and used. My...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
