Is it possible to use a ".net configuration" file for a .NET console application? I'm looking for an equivalent to web.config, but specifically for console applications... I can certainly roll my own, but If I can use .NET's built in configuration reader then I would like to do that...I really just need to store a connection string......

We have a pretty mature COM dll, which we test using DUnit. One of our recent tests creates a few threads, and tests the object from those threads. This test works fine when running the test using the gui front-end, but hangs when running as a console application. Here's a quick pseudo view of what we have in the test SetupTest; fThread...

Hey, In my python linux console application I use curses to handle displaying of data. At the same time I'd like to have an input line to enter commands, pretty much in good ol' irssi-style. With default curses getch() I'd have to do a lot of coding just to get the basic funcionality of raw_input function - arrow keys to move cursor / b...
Hi all, I was reading up about NTVDM.exe as I build a quick test console app and it crashed on a friends machine complaining about this EXE. As I understand it all DOS cmd windows (C# console apps included) run as 16bit not 32bit. Is this true? Does this mean all my works console app back office apps are running as 16bit rather than ...

Our code library needs to be notified when the application is exiting. So we have subscribed to the System.Window.Forms.Application.ApplicationExit event. This works nicely for Winforms apps, but does it also work for other types of applications such as console apps, services, and web apps (such as ASP.NET)? The namespace would suggest...
