I'm using Ninject as IoC container in my project. I have following class: public class SomeRepository:ISomeRepository { public SomeRepository(string someDatabaseConnectionString) { // some code here.. } } In my application settings file I have connection string named "someDatabase". By default the one should add following configuration in order to inject this connection string into the constructor: kernel.Bind<ISomeRepository>() .To<SomeRepository>() .WithConstructorArgument("someDatabaseConnectionString", connString); But i want to implement conventional based binding of such strings. Values

This question already has an answer here: How to save a List<string> on Settings.Default? 3 answers I've modified my Settings.settings file in order to have system_Filters be a System.String[] . I would like to populate this variable within the Visual Studio designer and not from within the code. I can get it to work within the code using the following: Properties.Settings.Default.system_Filters = new string[] { "a", "b", "c" }; string _systemFilters = Properties.Settings.Default.system_Filters; This works correctly. However, I don't have a nice place to put this in my code and ideally want to

I have a C# unit test project with application settings in the app.config file. I am testing a class that exists in a different project. That class depends on both, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings and ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings . The project that the class being tested resides in does not have an app.config file.

Indeed, that does seem to be the case for the connection string. The class retrieves the connection string

.NET allows you to use .settings files to manage application settings. I would like to store Production, Development and Test settings separately in a way that I can do something like this: EnvironmentSettings environmentSettings; // get the current environment (Production, Development or Test) ApplicationEnvironment Environment = (ApplicationEnvironment) Enum.Parse(typeof(ApplicationEnvironment), Settings.Default.ApplicationEnvironment); switch (Environment) { case ApplicationEnvironment.Production: environmentSettings = Settings.Production; break; ... } string reportOutputLocation =

I have a python desktop application that needs to store user data. On Windows, this is usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\AppName\ , on OSX it's usually ~/Library/Application Support/AppName/ , and on other *nixes it's usually ~/.appname/ . There exists a function in the standard library, os.path.expanduser that will get me a user's home directory, but I know that on Windows, at least, "Application Data" is localized into the user's language. That might be true for OSX as well. What is the correct way to get this location? UPDATE: Some further research indicates that the correct way to

I have a number of application settings (in user scope) for my custom grid control. Most of them are color settings. I have a form where the user can customize these colors and I want to add a button for reverting to default color settings. How can I read the default settings? For example: I have a user setting named CellBackgroundColor in Properties.Settings . At design time I set the value of CellBackgroundColor to Color.White using the IDE. User sets CellBackgroundColor to Color.Black in my program. I save the settings with Properties.Settings.Default.Save() . User clicks on the Restore
