Consider: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2tw134k3.aspx When you are creating your custom types in the app.config do you get intellisense to aid you? Or is it a case of programming in XML 'on your own'? It does not appear to be working for me, if this is the case that's fine but if intellisense is meant to work I know I'm doin...
In the app.config file of a .NET application there is a <runtime> element that allows you to configure various behaviours of the CLR, usually for backwards compatibility with legacy behaviours.

Hi. I find configsource references in the .config-files to be very helpful. However, since these referenced config-files only contain fragments of the entire app.config hierarchy, the IDE complains. In the app.config file: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="customProfiles" type="SomeConfigClass, SomeAssembly"/...

I'm creating a little console application that creates a Lucene index from an Sql Database. This application will be run with a single parameter. This parameter will define what connection string it will use and where the destination file should be placed. I would like to store the connection strings and the target paths in the app.conf...
I need to update a setting in the system.net SectionGroup of a .Net exe app.config file at runtime. I don't have write access to the original config file at runtime (I am developing a .Net dll add-in which is hosted in an exe provided by the app which I have no control over) so I was hoping to save a copy of the file and replace the conf...
I'm using prism as an example; this is my first time playing with WPF. I've written two modules; orderModule and orderDetailModule. I was able to run my app and have them populate on one screen, now I'm trying to have only one module load and load the other with a button click. I was loading my modules in code before, then I noticed pris...

This question describes my problem exactly, except I'm using a custom configuration section in app.config with ConfigurationManager, so the solution presented there doesn't apply...

The following code has two flaws, I can't figure out if they are bugs or by design.
