Apps.config

[Sean]

Hi,

I added an apps.config file into my Windows .NET project, but my application
cannot read the values.

Actually I have 3 projects in my solution and I added this apps.config into
my data layer project to have several connection strings depending on what
data source using I am.

Can you please give me some idea why this config file is not working?

FYI - the XML file is well formed

Thanks

Sean

1. It should be named app.config not apps.config.

2. For a WinForms application, it gets renamed to "exename.exe.config" and
copied to the run directory. Be sure this is happening.

3. By default, all libraries (projects) use the same config file (the one
named "exename.exe.config" that is copied to the run directory).
