Configuration Files Management

64
Hi everybody,

In my applications I use the Configuration File for some variables that might be changed like Connection String, some masks and other configurations. The problem is: Every application has a configuration file and when I have to change a variable I must change in EVERY application file.

I was wondering on how to centralize these application files to keep the maintenance easier.

Any idea??

Thanks in advance,

Fernando Mello

Googling share "app.config" between projects found promising results, have you looked at any already?

danp129 thanks for answering,

Yes I have looked already and the idea of linking the app.config doesnt fully solve my problem because i often have different app´s for each user so I dont know if there is a better solution than make my own manager.

Thanks again.
