I am new to VS 2010 and in my application I want to add an app.config to contain to variables.I have been adding the app.config through the solution explorer, add item, general tab, configuration file.However i have noticed each project creates a default app.config in the project folder but which doesnt show up in the solution explorer.
View 1 RepliesI have a class library (Named ADI), that needs some configuration settings from the project using it (like connectionstring, filesystem locations etc).
I want to define these settings in my Windows Forms/Web Projects App.Config or Web.Config, like other settings.
Here is part of my app.config for my windows forms application:
<applicationSettings>
<PhotoImportRobot.My.MySettings>
<setting name="ADIImageRoot" serializeAs="String">
[Code]....
is there any tool to validate configuration file?
View 1 RepliesOur main application has both a asp.net and winforms component. There is a class that is used by both sides and needs info from either the web.config or app.config files. The class itself does not know if it's on the client side or on the web server (at this point). We are getting errors when it's attempting read app.config when it's on the web side. Is there a way for the class to tell if it needs to read web.config or app.config?

View 7 RepliesI have created a basic query generator which allows a user to select the Select, WHERE and criteria attributes using a number of checkboxes.However i have got stuck. In the results form i have the following code
Private Sub DisplayRecord()
RichTextBox1.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(0)
RichTextBox2.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(1)
RichTextBox3.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(2)
[code]....
The program keeps on crashing if the user does not select the corresponding amount of display records from above for the amount of attributes they want for the SELECT part of the query in the intreface in form 1.
How would i go about making something where the number of SELECT attributes selected which are listed in a string create the correct number of textbox fields in the results form (form2)
I have an .net addin that loads w/outlook. Being a .NET assembly, I naturally have a .config file that you would expect. From my previous research, I named my app.config file to be Outlook.exe.config because outook is the executing assembly, and naturally, that's where you would expect that. This for the most part is fine.
In some installations, and I am not sure as to the conditions why, My addin will hunt for the config file under the dll name in another directory. So, more clearly stated, Office is in its directory, and my addin dll is in its own. So: MyAddin.dll.config vs. Outlook.exe.config. So, fine, I just made 2 copies of the config file and covered both cases. Now, I find that the addin is hunting for Outlook.exe.config in MY program directory (not the outlook dir)
FYI I log which config file is being used using: [Code] So, can someone tell me WHERE it is determined where the config file is read from, and if I can "Force" it to be used from a certain location?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to set clientcredentials for an WCF in App.config?
I would like to avoid doing this:
Using svc As New MyServiceClient
svc.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "login"
svc.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = "pw"
...
End Using
Rather the login and password should be part of the configuration.
What i want to do is use a config file to save the value that a user sets in a Folder browser dialog so that i can use the directory they select to write to files in that directory

I am trying to get a handle on the correct way and easiest way to do things. By easiest I am not talking about being lazy just accessing and modifying later on. I have started using my own classes and such but I have a few questions. Sometimes I want to create a control on the fly through code instead of using the designer. Should I create this control in the main form file or in a separate class? If I make it in another class it seems harder to access later on. Then again if I dont know that the control is going to be created(user clicks a button to add a control) how can I access it? Also it seems alot harder to access certain things when it is in another class. For example if I create a new window in a class and then want to check if it is there or not it is alot harder to do.

View 7 RepliesMy VB code uses a timer with a slider, and uses AddSeconds. I am trying to use the slider with a min value of 0 and max value of 600, and set up ticks every 30 seconds between 0 and 600.At a beginner level coding VB,I am not sure how to set some of the correct values in the slider's property box.Min, Max and Value, I am guessing are 0, 600 and 0 (sets the slider thumb starting positionat the far left). But I am not sure what other values, like tick and small and large change, etc. need to be set and set to what value? I've read online, but so far cannot find how to configure this.

View 2 RepliesI have inherited a rather large project consisting of an application written in VB6 and several DLL's and ActiveX controls written in VB6, VB.NET 1.1 and VB.NET 2. I want to change one of the settings for one of the DLL's written in VB.NET 2 that is in its application.dll.config file, but it seems to be having no effect.My main VB6 application (I will call it Alpha) has a configuration file (Alpha.exe.cnfig) which contains settings used by my VB.NET 1.1 DLL (which I will call Bravo). After calling Bravo, Alpha calls Charlie (my VB.NET 2 DLL). However, even though I have changed the application settings in Charlie.dll.config in the subdirectory where the DLL lives, it has no effect. I have tried putting Charlie's settings in Alpha's config file but this causes Bravo to fail with an automation error (which I think is because the format of the config files changed from .NET 1.1 and .NET 2).[code]If I try putting the applicationSettings section under directly beneath the appSettings section (i.e. as another child element of the configuration element) in Alpha.exe.config then Bravo.dll fails.

View 1 RepliesI have a solution with several projects and several developers, each with their ownenvironment (of course). To manage connection strings between each environment, I have created several app.config files for each environment: app.config.dev, app.config.qa, etcThe pre-build event simply copies the app.config.$(ConfigurationName) to app.config. This pre-build event is done for each project in the solution, and the connection string is included in each (including the test project).
