app-config

I usually use a text file as a config. But this time I would like to utilize app.config to associate a file name (key) with a name (value) and make the names available in combo box <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="Scenario1.doc" value="Hybrid1"/> <add key="Scenario2.doc" value="Hybrid2"/> <add key="Scenario3.doc" value="Hybrid3"/> </appSettings> </configuration> will this work? how to retrieve the data ? Gromer Straight from the docs : using using System.Configuration; // Get the AppSettings section. // This function uses the AppSettings property

In my application when I try to get the connection string by using this code : System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConStr"].ConnectionString; It throws an exception that "Configuration System Failed To Initialize". Where is the format of app.config wrong ? <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="ConStr" connectionString="Integrated Security=false;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=funny;password=veryfunny;Initial Catalog=vegimanager;Data Source=.\sqlexpress;"/> </connectionStrings> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type=

I'm writing a simple test project to experiment with log4net and I've hit a wall right off the bat. No matter what I do in my config file, the my logger is initialized with all "IsXXXXEnabled" flags set to false. Here is my very simple app.config: <log4netgroup> <log4net xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://csharptest.net/downloads/schema/log4net.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender"> <param name="LogName" value="Application" /> <param name="ApplicationName" value="HelloProgram" /> <threshold

I need to parse a config file that is situated in another project. I know that ConfigurationManager reads the app.config file by default, but how to make it read that particular config file? // Create a filemap refering the config file. ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap(); fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = configFilePath; // Retrieve the config file. Configuration configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(fileMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None); Or like this: var fileMap = new ConfigurationFileMap(configFilePath); Configuration config =

I'm trying to create a nuget package which will both add a DLL and configure it inside of the proper configuration file. The package can be used in either a console/form application or a web application, so I want to update the appropriate configuration file, either app.config or web.config. My files section in the .nuspec file contains the following inside of the section. <file src="config.transform" target="content\app.config.transform"/> <file src="config.transform" target="content\web.config.transform"/> The .nupkg file does contain both of the transforms inside of the content folder. When

I have a windows service that reads from app.config. I want some settings to be encrypted, however, I don't want to use the ProtectedConfigurationProvider classes provided in .NET because they encrypt files based on the machine they are running on using DPAPI. What I wanted was a way for our administrator to deploy the config file already encrypted to many machines and have each machine decrypt them when needed. I don't want to hardcode a password into the assembly either so I'm not sure how I can go about this. reduce the problem to its simplest form: you have a program that will be given an
