Simple question with config file

Dear all,

I am developing a multi tiers application and actually responsible of
delivering the buines logic library.
That buisnes logic library will need some parameters to be suitebale
configured. As a testing purpose I have build a client application which
contains app.config files with paramters for this libary. Everything works as
expected.

Now the question is that I do not want to place library parmeters with the
UI application because I would like to deliver the buislness logic and it's
configuration as a set.

The question I have is , is it possible to get a configuration file attached
to a libray ?
Example :
library name could be : myLib.dll
config file could be : myLib.dll.confi g

If this is possible how to located the config file at the place the libary
will be loaded ?

Thanks for help
regards

The file location of the running assembly can be retrieved using reflection.
This VB.NET code will get the file location of the currently running
assembly:

System.Reflecti on.GetExecuting Assembly.Locati on

Then, you can concatenate ".config" to the end.

Hope this helps,
Andrew

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 files and data...

I'm sure this is a simple, but recurrent, problem for which I can't hit on a totally satisfactory solution. As an example, suppose that I want write a module X that performs some database access. I expect that 99.999% of the time, during the foreseeable future, the database connection parameters will remain unchanged. The only exception that I envision for this would be during testing or debugging. Given all this, I am tempted to...

I can call a public method in this library from VBScript. So far so good, now I'd like to have some very *simple* loggging capability.

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.
