Hi guys, I'm interested in displaying in a Windows Forms app a list of N radio buttons for the user to choose a target database server. I would like to add the SQL Server connection strings in the app.config file, so they are read by the app at runtime and rendered in the windows form as radio buttons. At first I thought of using a de...
I'm not a WinForms developer, but have been doing ASP.NET for quite some time. I have to write something in VB.NET that just pushes some simple data to a database. So I created the VB.NET WinForms app (Visual Studio 2005). When I run the app it works fine for using: Dim conMyData As SqlConnection Dim cmdInsert As SqlCommand ...
Hi, I'm currently trying to create the app.config at runtime. The basic idea is that I'm deploying several config files and based on an environment variable the application itself decides which one to use. Currently I'm copying the config file I'd like to use to myapp.exe.config, and refresh all the sections. The problem I'm facing is,...

I hear a lot of folk mentioning things like "you shouldn't clog your app.config file with custom settings"....I was under the illusion that this was what the purpose of the file was for!

If I have a project with an App.Config, and when I compile it I get a file next to my DLL called [myproject].dll.config which contains the contents of the projects App.Config.

My understanding is, that .NET doesn't really 'do' config files for DLLs - only the main Executable or Web App gets a config file, and all DLLs referenced by the Executable/Web App read from that. But in VS2008, if you add a Web Reference to a Class Library (DLL) project, it adds a Settings.Settings file and an app.config file to the pr...
