app settings and config manager and My namespace...

herbert

Microsoft please publish an article about "best practice" handling the
application configuration/settings in .NET 2.0 for VB.NET.
I am lost in ConfigurationManager, Add New Item Settings Dialog, the My
namespace and useless (ie non-related) online help pages.
Can somebody help please?

And: in VS.2005 online help again there are many VB.NET code samples simply
1:1 translated from C# ending up in bad VB style. Eg using C-like enumeration
instead of VB.NET For...Each. Let VB.NET coders write VB.NET samples!!!

thanks herbert

Herbert,

Normally is the default setting the "best" general practise.

Can you have a look at the message beneath this to see what I wrote?

What specific task are you trying to accomplish that you are having
problems with? Writing code using the ConfigurationManager class to
add or retrieve an appSetting from a configuration file? I agree that
it can be difficult to find what you're looking for in the online
help, but you'll have to provide more details about what you're trying
to do if you want assistance on the newsgroups.

Please post feedback on the documentation by scrolling down to the
bottom of the topic you're having problems with and click the feedback
link. That way a bug will get logged and hopefully the doc will get
fixed in the next Web release.
