configurationmanager

Here in my project I have two application configuration files called app.config and accessLevel.config . Now using the OpenExeConfiguration I was able to access the app.config.exe file but not the accessLevel.config . Please help on this. The main reason I have 2 config files is to show the difference and make the code simple. I need to read the values from the accessLevel.config in my C# code. Tried the below code but no use: System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); config.AppSettings.File = "App2.config"; Michael See

I've used these two configuration files many times before, but I've never taken the time to fully understand how they really work. As most people do, I understand the basics in how to call WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key"] to get config values. Here are some questions I came up with: What happens when you reference a configuration value within a class library, and the library is part of a bigger solution? Does the app.config need to be copied to the output directory in order for the variables to be found? (I assume yes) Can you directly use a configuration value from an app.config in

How to load application settings to NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration object by using System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from App.config? app.config: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="Northwind" connectionString= "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Northwind;Trusted_Connection=True;> </connectionStrings> </configuration> C# code: string connectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager .ConnectionStrings["Northwind"].ToString(); NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration nHibernateConfiguration = new NHibernate.Cfg.Configuration();

I have a program A , it also have an app.config file where I have added some keys like server address, username and password for connecting to a server. It is a console application. Now I want to make a UI which I have done. In that UI I want to modify the content of app.config of program A . How do I do that? Here is what I tried, I copied the UI (basically an .exe) to program A's directory, where the app.config also resides. Then in the UI, I use the ConfigurationManager class's OpenExeConfiguration method, and passing the program A's filename as an argument. But it throws and exception of

I've written a small utility that allows me to change a simple AppSetting for another application's App.config file, and then save the changes: //save a backup copy first. var cfg = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(pathToExeFile); cfg.SaveAs(cfg.FilePath + "." + DateTime.Now.ToFileTime() + ".bak"); //reopen the original config again and update it. cfg = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(pathToExeFile); var setting = cfg.AppSettings.Settings[keyName]; setting.Value = newValue; //save the changed configuration. cfg.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full); This works well, except for

I have a console application which has its own App.config. I need to change some values in section time to time. My problem is, when I execute the exe within the bin/debug folder it gets the relevant appsettings correctly. But when I edit and change values of some key/value pairs and RE-RUN the exe, it still reads the original values. (By RE-RUN I mean running the application on the command promt by calling MyTool.exe) I tried to call ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings"); in the begining of my Main method. But did not help. Can you please advise? Thanks But when I edit and change

I'm trying to persist user settings to a configuration file using ConfigurationManager. I want to scope these settings to the user only, because application changes can't be saved on Vista/Win 7 without admin privileges. This seems to get me the user's configuration, which appears to be saved here in Win 7 ([Drive]:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\[ApplicationName]\[AssemblyName][hash]\[Version\) Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal); Whenever I try to save any changes at all to this config I get this exception:

I'm in the process of weeding out all hardcoded values in a Java library and was wondering what framework would be the best (in terms of zero- or close-to-zero configuration) to handle run-time configuration? I would prefer XML-based configuration files, but it's not essential. Please do only reply if you have practical experience with a framework. I'm not looking for examples, but experience... If your hardcoded values are just simple key-value pairs, you should look at java.util.Properties . It's a lot simpler than xml, easier to use, and mind-numbingly trivial to implement. If you are
