.net - Resources/App.config Or Database Where Is The Best Place To Application Strings
Mar 25, 2009
I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

I'm making a project for school with a group of classmates. It is an application that needs to reference quite a few pictures and strings from My.Resources. I don't know what the problem is but, whenever I run the program, I get a message that reads this: "There were several build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?"
And then below in the Output:
----- Build started: Project: Wilkes-Barre Virtual Scavenger hunt, Configuration: Debug x86 ------
COM Reference 'WMPLib' is the interop assembly for ActiveX control 'AxWMPLib' but was marked to be linked by the compiler with the /link flag. This COM reference will be treated as a reference and will not be linked.

Initially while login from form1, the application will check login from the database and after login, it again populate values from database to gridview in another form2, and after that i will add values to the database in another form3. And so when again coming to form2, the gridview does not populating the updated values from database. Actually where to place the database files in an application?

The 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?

I am trying to iterate through all the connection strings in App.Config using VB.net.
I would like to:
1. Get a count of all the connection strings
2. Put them all into a listbox.
I have tried using System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings but am unsure exactly how to get the collection/listof connection strings.
The application is a WinForms VB.net .net 4.0 app.

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

Can values from web.config be read completely at runtime or does the application make a copy of the current web.config upon initialization.
Essentially, I'm wandering if I make a change to web.config if it will take effect on the users next postback or if they would need to initialize an entirely new page load. In particular, I'm interested in sections of the web.config like sesssionState and when a change to timeout would take effect.

I'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? I know the corresponding C# code to do the same as the config (in this example) - does that code get generated/executed before my application's entry point?

As a practice exercise at my college we have to make a simple room booking system, complete with its own config file. We're not allowed to use the one built into VB.NET (the professor wants us to adapt to not relying on things like that) so I've made my own. This is a sample:
// Config file.
// First column is the variable name that will be used to
// reference the value in the second column. Seperate each

Well the title says it all im using a asp.net 4.0 project.My file structure looks like this [code]Now the WebService seems to get some parts of the web.config from the RootSite, the problem here is <configuration><system.webServer>..So i tryed to place this around that section <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> but that had the result of making a httpHandler only to function in the root directory.So is there any solution to this? i don't understand why my webservice's web.config is inheriting from the root's web.config..

I spent most of Friday deleting stuff out of my windows project and/or starting from scratch when the data base was changed. What is the cleanest way to get the data base and data set changes in place? The current changes(which I have not applied yet) effect the file that I am maintaining in my windows project. Right now, we manually delete the data set project from our local PC, then copy the new one down from it's permanet location on the server.

Web.config is located at a particular path in my virtual PC, say "C:/mywebConfig"

Security Info=False; User ID=***;Password=****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
My code:
Dim connString As String = String.Empty
connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MY_DB").ConnectionString
Whenever I try to access it, i get the error not set to an instance of an object or something like that :)
I tried to add the web.config in my Project, but still get the error.

I'm trying to use the following command:
Dim xmlFilePath As String = _
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("XmlFilePath")
to retrieve the following setting:
<applicationSettings>
<MySolution.WebProject.My.MySettings>
<setting name="XmlFilePath" serializeAs="String">
[Code]....
However, xmlFilePath shows up as Nothing after that line of code is run.
What's the correct code to get a setting out of the web.config file in an ASP.NET application?
NOTE: Although you can add keys individually to the <appsettings> tag, I'm trying to figure out how to use it with the "Settings" tab in the project's properties.

I have a general question on app.config, or the best way to NOT hard code a SmtpServer.Host = XXXXXXXX setting. I wrote this very simple SMTP texting application and wanted to have the settings not hard code but a form that read or writes to app.config or .ini or registry. my question is the pros and cons? and if anyone hae suggested or a link to sample project that is doing what I'm after. I have a single .exe and am new to vb.net and either want the exe to check for app.config, ini or registry if does not exist to create and then save added config, if the exe runs again it uses the newly created settings.

I want to load a dictionary at startup in my console app from my app.config. I know that I could use an xml library or linq to XML to load it to parse and traverse it. My question is there a BUILT IN way of doing it. Isn't there some way to add an application configuration section into the app.config and then have it loaded automagically using ConfigurationManager class in the System.Configuration namespace?
