app.config configuration sections are nice, but I often need multiple configuration sets, but with small difference. what I want is: Have one section with default configuration (this one is created with the designer, and thus has the auto-generated strongly-typed accessors in the Settings class Another section with only the "new" item...
I use the app.config file to store some values (path to a mapping database, data connection selections). These settings differ on the user machines and I would like the installer to set them right. Is there an installer that can work with .NET config files during setup and allow me to create some dialogs that would help me fill in these ...

In the Oracle world, it's been gospel to build your database block size to be even multiples of the File system's block size. I assume this is still true but I'm not adverse to being told why technology has made this irrelevant. But I've been told some SQL Server DBA's are going to upgrade the OS of a SS2000 installation to 64bit to get...

In CFEclipse, I do a lot of double-clicking to select text. The standard behavior is to select all text within the nearest word boundaries. This is problematic when editing code where the original editor didn't use camel-case; for example, they wrote "myObject" as "my_object". Is there a way to change the double-click selection behavior...

When configuring the bash on OSX via ~/.profile it seems to completely ignore it as soon as ~/.bash_profile exists. If this is correct and expected behavior, should I add my extra configuration stuff to ~/.bash_profile as well or use it instead of ~/.profile? Thanks in advance. ...
Folks, I've been trying to find a way to load my WCF service configuration (that huge BLOB of XML config data) from an alternate source - not the standard web.config / app.config. We're running in a restricted environment where we don't have access to the server's file system, and thus we cannot make tweaks and changes to our WCF conf...
