app-config

It is necessary to use the SQLite Entity Framework Database-first approach for the 3d-party application plugin. I searched all the Internet, including Add a DbProviderFactory without an App.Config , Problems using Entity Framework 6 and SQLite and many other. I have tried to use them all in different ways and combinations, but nothing helps: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.Entity.Core.MetadataException' occurred in mscorlib.dll. Additional information: Schema specified is not valid. Errors: AutosuggestModel.ssdl (2,2): error 0152: No Entity Framework provider found for the ADO.NET

Sometimes in .NET (2.0) WinForm desktop apps which use the default configuration system, the user.config file will become corrupted and can't be loaded anymore (when the configuration system tries to load it, it'll throw a System.Xml.XmlException ). Putting aside the question of "why did the file get corrupted in the first place" (maybe it was cosmic rays, or HDD problems, or something else you can't control), the question then becomes "how can one catch this exception and do something meaningful with it? Microsoft's Connect site has a report on this sort of problem . Unfortunately, their

Currently, we use a giant configuration object that is serialized to/from XML. This has worked fine for the most part, but we are finding that in the case of power loss and application crashes, that the file could be left in a state that renders it unable to deserialize properly, effectively corrupting the configuration information. I would like to use the built-in app.config, but it doesn't seem to easily support custom classes. For example, with XML serialization, I can easily serialize a generic list<ComplexClass> with no extra code. It just works. It seems that when using app.config, you

I have a web project (mvc) and data access layer in a separated class library project. I need to access to a connection string in app.config which sits in that library project. ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString pulls something strange. I don't have this kind of settings neither in the library's config nor in the web project's config files. the App.config looks like that: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="DALConnectionString" connectionString="User ID=sa;Password=pass;Initial Catalog=db;Data Source=srv\SQL2005;" /> <

We're a small team, working on a asp.net web project, as well as service, both projects dependent on a shared class library. We'd like to have the class library settings different per developer (and later on for production). In settings are included sensitive information, such as passwords, as well as hostnames. How should we assign these settings ? Unless I'm wrong, web.config/application settings aren't good enough, as they don't work for the shared class library. ps: Also, some variables should be statically linked, and the rest (such as connectionstrings) should be dynamic. The web.config

I have XML-file with settings like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" > <section name="UpdateReportService.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <applicationSettings> <UpdateReportService.Properties.Settings> <setting
