Asp.net - Class Needs Info From Either The Web.config Or App.config
Jul 6, 2011
Our 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?

I 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">

know open an xml file into a datagrid. The xml file is stored in a secured ftp with username and password. Just as an example if the site ftp.mysitesite.com, with username "xxx" and the password "XXX" has the file 123.xml, then how do I load 123 into a datagrid. Is it possible to store these info to a variable in app.Config and use that variable to access the site?

I was dangerously close to high-jacking another thread, so I thought I should create my own. We make class libraries so we won't duplicate code, but what about settings? I have a large solution that I've created a project in for common material, which includes an app.config. The problem is that a class library isn't an "app" so my functions can't get to the values. How do I get around this?

I have written a vb.net class library that pulls the url for a web service out of my.settings. However, at runtime it no longer bothers to read the class.dll.config file that it made.I want to deploy this dll in different environments and be able to custom choose the relative webservice via the class.dll.config file.

Got a solution with 3 projects, a Web Service, a WinForms (MyUI), and a Class Library (Foo).
MyUI calls methods in the DLL that access the web service. The DLL has project config settings that store the URL of the web service. I compile the solution and it compiles all 3 projects. In the DLL's bin dir it puts the foo.dll and foo.dll.config files. However, in the WinForms bin dir it puts the MyUI.exe, MyUI.exe.config, and foo.dll; it doesn't include the foo.dll.config. When I run the MyUI.exe from its bin dir, it appears to work, and is obviously getting the config settings from somewhere because it doesn't crash and successfully contacts the web service. However, if I copy the foo.dll.config file into the MyUI's bin dir, and change config settings and re-run, it appears to ignore my changes completely.
In the Class Library I setup the config settings through the project properties dialog under the Settings tab. I access them from code using My.Settings.
How do I modify the config settings post-compile?

Say I have a Class Library project with its own .dll.config, and a forms application. I want to confirm that it is impossible to reference the .dll.config file from the .exe.config file and still use My.Settings.
For example: I have SomeClassLibrary project, with SomeSetting that I can access through My.Settings.SomeSetting. I also have SomeFormsApp project. This is what I want my SomeFormsApp.exe.config to look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
[Code].....
From my readings, this seems impossible. I either need to copy the content of SomeClassLibrary.dll.config into SomeFormsApp.exe.config, which is tedious and error prone when copying from multiple class libraries, or I need to use ConfigurationManager, which bypasses My.Settings and its typed, Intellisensed goodness.

I'm having trouble with my application settings and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.
I have a Librabry with a connection string. In the project for the library it has its own app.config:
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="OBInfrastructure.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>

I have a Class Library project with a appSettings.config file included into the project. The file is not embedded. So I have a ClassLibrary.dll with a appSettings.config beside in the bin.I have another project which is a Web Service. It has a reference on ClassLibrary.dll with a Copy Local=true. When I build the Web Service, the ClassLibrary.dll is brought into the bin of the Web Service. However, the .config doesn't follow.Do I need to do some postbuild event to copy the .config file or there is another setting I can set?

I am trying to access appSettings using the following syntax and I have used it before in my many website projects but not in a class library project. In this class library project I cannot even access the AppSettings Keys. Is there any way I could access the AppSettings Key from my class? Is the class library project's app.config or project structure behave in a different way?

I have already added Project Reference to System.Configuration and imported in my class. When I run my code it says, "Object not set to an instance of any object".

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?

Is 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.

I 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.

I 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).

how to setup my deployment project so that users can customize thier own settings in app.config? Which special folder in the File System browser should I add, Personal Data, Application Data, or Programs Menu? How do I add the app.config to the folder? What about the project output, should it also be in the same folder? If so, should the project output be taken out of the Application Folder, in other words, exist in one place? I tested my deployment and was shocked that the icon only opened on the test user's pc after installation. I have custom settings in the app.config file that have default values, but must be configurable for user specific settings.

I have difficulties figuring out a useful app.config structures for my program.What I am doing is writing a windows service, which watches several directories on a server for files being uploaded.My problem is making my program configurable for n folders when in each of those n folders, i need to watch for a different collection of filetypes
e.g. folder1: .dwg;
folder2: .dwg;.doc;.xls;
then when a new file is uploaded, for example a .dwg file to folder1,then i need to run program1 to convert the dwg to a dwf, and program2 to convert the dwg to a .swf.but that only if filetype is .dwg and folder = folder1. if a .dwg is uploaded for example to folder2, then it needs to be converted to a pdf.The closes i have come to make this configurable in a app.config file is this:
<Folder2 name="C:inetpubwwwrootCAFMFotos" filetypes=".dwg;.pdf;">
<action>
<add key="ExecutableAndPath" value="C:UsersMeDesktopverydocdwg2vec.exe"/>[code].........
I have difficulties bringing this to a usable from in app.config

I'm trying to use System.Diagnostics to do some very basic logging. I figure I'd use what's in the box rather than taking on an extra dependency like Log4Net or EntLib.
I'm all set up, tracing is working wonderfully. Code snippet:
Trace.TraceInformation("Hello World")
App.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
[Code].....
That doesn't make sense to me: I just have to declare an instance of the BooleanSwicth to be able to manage (disable) tracing via the .config file? Should I like ... use ... the object somewhere?
