app-config

I wanna read/write (and save) application's configuration file in program The app.config is like this: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="AdWordsApi" type="System.Configuration.DictionarySectionHandler" requirePermission="false"/> </configSections> <AdWordsApi> <add key="LogPath" value=".\Logs\"/> ... </AdWordsApi> </configuration> When I use ConfigurationManager.GetSection to read the app.config, it works: var adwords_section = (System.Collections.Hashtable) System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("AdWordsApi"); Console.WriteLine((string)adwords_section["LogPath"]);

I am using log4net and I was to save the log file in the AppData file for win XP/Vista etc. This is my app.config file so far, and I have specified the name softphone.log. Hoewver, I am not sure how to specify the complete path to the file as each user will have a different path depending on their username. <log4net> <logger name="default"> <level value="DEBUG"/> </logger> <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="softphone.log"/> <appendToFile value="true"/> <rollingStyle value="Size"/> <maxSizeRollBackup value="10"/> <maximumFileSize value

When encrypting ("protecting") Microsoft config sections, you get something that looks like the XML below. It follows (at least partially) the W3 spec for XML Encryption. However, in the XML below you'll see that the EncryptionMethod under the EncryptedData section is "tripledes-cbc". We would like to be able to change that to a more-secure alternative, specifically AES, which is specified in the aforementioned W3 spec as well. In many calls with Microsoft's support engineers, they are nowhere near understanding the question, much less answering it. Is there a way to change this encryption

var values = new NameValueCollection { { "key", ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["API-Key"].ToString() }, { "image", Convert.ToBase64String(File.ReadAllBytes(photo.ToString())) } }; What's the new way to use the app.config file? Kelsey The ConfigurationManager class in System.Configuration : ConfigurationManager.AppSettings ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings So your code would change to: var values = new NameValueCollection { { "key", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["API-Key"] }, { "image", Convert.ToBase64String(File.ReadAllBytes(photo.ToString())) } }; Make sure you add a reference to

Is there any way to load settings from a different file other than the default App.config file at runtime? I'd like to do this after the default config file is loaded. I use the Settings.Settings GUI in Visual Studio to create my App.config file for me. The config file ends up looking 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="SnipetTester.Properties.Settings" type=

I have added App.Config in my project. I have a installer class(ProjectInstaller.cs) which needs to read values from App.config. I am providing the keys . Below is the sample Code : ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CONFIG_FILE"] I am getting null values as per above code ,when invoked in Installer class. But in App.Config file the value for the above key exists. Try: public string GetServiceNameAppConfig(string serviceName) { var config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(MyServiceInstaller)).Location); return config.AppSettings.Settings[serviceName].Value;

in the code Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration (Application.ExecutablePath); ConnectionStringsSection section = config.GetSection("connectionStrings") as ConnectionStringsSection; if (!section.SectionInformation.IsProtected) { section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"); } I´m getting some trouble when I move the application to another machine. is the section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection call machine dependent, meaning, I cannot copy the config file and use it on another machine ? Is there a provider (other than
