View 1 RepliesWindows Application Ignores App.config And Uses Something To Connect To Local Database
Jan 10, 2012The application sits on a virtual environment and when I remote in and run the application, it connects to the remote database. However, when I remote in with a service account and double click the same .exe, it tries to connect to the local host database and ignores the app.config. The code is the same, only the login name I use is different. The login I use is part of the local admin group. Any ideas?
View 2 RepliesWindows Services - Configure App.config Application Settings During MSI Install .net?
Feb 1, 2012I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.
i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.
i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?
I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer. This is where im struggling to understand what i need to do next. Do i need to override the install method? The current code of my installer class was automatically generated and is as follows:

Dec 31, 2011I've never thought about it before; but I recently learned how I could modify the app.config file to add/remove trace listeners (for example, to redirect all of the Trace.WriteLine output to a text file).But I don't quite understand how it works?

Does Windows Service Need To Be Rebuild After Changing Config File
Aug 1, 2010I changed config file of the windows many times. Before changing config file I stopped the service and after changing config file, started again. Every thing worked fine.
But last time when I made some changes in config file of the windows service and started it - It didnt worked, I even tried reinstalling the service but in vain.
As a last resort I rebuild the service with new config file and copied newly build files on the server and installed the service. To my surprise the Windows service worked perfectly this time.But I have only made changes to config file and the code of the windows service was untouched. My question is, do we need to rebuild the Window service if we change the config file many time?

Dec 4, 2009how to create a global variable for this situation: I would like to store who logs in to a system (like, who is currently logged in, when he logged in) and then use that info for a transaction form, which will look like this: which admin made the transaction).
If I were to use a global variable, it would mean having to pass it onto several forms right (eg: from login form to the forms that will use the log information). I'm also thinking of just having a config file that will store the said login info that will be changed everytime a user logs in.

Make Application 'single File' And Get Rid Of XML Config File?
Dec 29, 2010I have this pretty simple application, it uses a webService to transfer data to my servers DataBase. Now it is very important for me to keep this application as one single file, and not having some XML files needed for it to work, but this is the case. I think the XML file holds the information to this webService, so without it the application crashes. Is there a way to get the application to work without this XML file, or a way to put the XML inside the exe archive?

I have setup my application so that the App.Config file is not only written to c:users<username>appdatalocal but also to c:users<username>appdataoaming.

It looks like at this point that the App.Config file is stored in two places on the hard drive.

Mar 10, 2009I have been searching and posting regarding this problem and have found nothing to aid me. Discussion is either on web.config files or deal only with external files for connection strings or earlier versions of vb.net not 2008.I have already successfully put connection strings into an external config file, but trying the same approach with application settings has failed.There are two sections of the app.config involved with application settings.
1. the configuration and config sections at the top of the config. file where the section group and the section name are described.
