where does a .net Winform's application's app.config file reside..?

Question

As per this link we can add node in app.confi file.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff602939.aspx

so, where does that file exist? If i have given some exe to some one , can I later give him a app.config and ask them to place in the right location - so, that application functions accordingly..?

My app is C# .net 2.0.

Answer 1

In the same folder as the exe. Note the app.config file should be the same name as the exe with a .config stuck at the end. That is, if you had a program fooBar.exe, the config file should be named fooBar.exe.config.
