Hi all.
I'd like to get deeper into details of project layout in visual studio. And
maybee someone finds it interesting ...
I've got a project with the following layout just theoretical:
Solution:
- Project Network (DLL) with app.config (some links to Webservices and so
on)
- Project Database (DLL) with app.config (ConnectionStri ngs and so on)
- Project TestExecutable( Exe) with app.config (some Logging entries or so)
When I build that solution I get just on config file in the bin/Debug
folder: "TestExecutable .Exe.config"
The settings in the other files are compiled into the DLLs and thanks to
Lutz Roeder I can find it there in the CompilerGenerat ed internal sealed
class Settings.
Hmmm, so far so good, but ...
When I like to change that value I have to open the sources, change the
value and rebuild and distribute it.
I made a config file for easy changeing that values ...
Of course a simple workaround would be to put all admin stuff in the
settings file of the Exe and tell every Dll in Constructor their settings.
But I'd like to know whether there's a possibility to do that in a way I got
one .config file per project on filesystem in bin/DEBUG instead of built
into dll?
Maybee someone finds this interesting ...

In my experience, config files are useless if they are compiled into your
DLL. they can't be read from there. What I do is to use the app.config in the
library projects as a sample configuration, or to document the defaults.
(note that SETTINGS classes do store their defaults in the library resources,
but not in an embedded config file)
Your EXE project will need its own copy of all the child project
configurations. There's no nice way for VS to merge/update the child
configurations. And even if there were, it would piss off a lot of people and
prevent easy code reuse in a lot of situations where different projects need
to override the library configuration in some manner. (It would be nice to
have some sort of VS add-in to help with this)

Hi all.
Handling files is an extremely frequent task in programming, so most
programming languages have an abstraction of the basic files offered by
the underlying operating system. This is indeed also true for our language
of choice, Python. Its file type allows some extraordinary convenient
access like:
for line in open("blah"):
handle_line(line)

Hi All,
I've been trying to come up with an elegant solution to this problem,
but can't seem to think of anything better than my solution below.
I have a Python program that needs to be converted into an executable.
The problem is that I have a "config" template file that I've been
using to modify initialization constants such as paths, global
variables, structures, etc. Obviously, once I convert my code into an
executable I can no...

Hi everyone,
I really need help with the following:
It's common in app development to create numerous projects under one
solution that as a whole combine to become your final application. For

Ok, I wanted to ask this separate from nospam's ridiculous thread in hopes
it could get some honest attention.
VB6 had a some simple and fast mechanisms for retrieving values from basic
text files, which in turn could be simply and easily maintained with
notepad.
I understand the benefits of XML, really, but in the case of configuration
files it seems it is almost always nothing more than unnecessary complexity,
both in accessing them...

I'm testing error handling configurations and having some trouble. I created
a WebForm called. ErrDefault.aspx and I am trying to use the Page error
attribute to force the redirection to a custom page, but I only get and
unhandled exception page and it does not direct me to my specific page. I'm
probably doing something really stupid, but I cant see what .
Any Ideas ? - Thanx Mr N

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,...
