Web.config ApplicationSettings Values Not Being Read From WCF Service?
Dec 6, 2011
I have a WCF service with a setting I created in the WCF application property editor (settings tab).It has created something like the following property in MySettings class in the Settings.Designer.vb file. Notice the DefaultSettingValueAttribute is set to "This is the OLD value". That's my value for local testing.
<Global.System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute(), _
Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(), _
Global.System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("This is the OLD value")> _
[code]....
The problem is after restarting the WCF service (rebooting the server machine completely), it never reads the new value. It continues to use the old value that was set as the default value in the designer file.I think this must have to do with file permissions, but I don't see anything in the event log that indicates a problem. It's like the WCF service isn't even trying to read the web.config file.Why isn't the service reading the settings value from the web.config file?

I have application scoped settings set within my application's project properties that are working fine, but I would prefer not to have these settings hardcoded within the progarm.My goal is to modify these settings during application install, by reading from a file located with the setup MSI file.I have an insaller class successfully running and reading values from a file that I wish to change the application settings to. Unfortunatley, I am unable to figure out how to access these application scoped settings.
* I attempted writing directly to the app.conf file, but only ended up with an appsettings section as opposed to updating the specific application settings I was after
Dim targetDir As String = Context.Parameters("targetdir")
Dim templatedir As String = Context.Parameters("templatedir")
Dim savedir As String = Context.Parameters("savedir")
Dim exePath As String = String.Format("{0}myAppName.exe", targetDir)
[code]....
From within my Installer class, how best do a directly change these 2 applicationsettings?After searching / reading many posts and MSDN Class definitons, I am not able to figure it out.

I am creating a windows service in .Net 4.0 and testing some functions of said service with a windows forms client by referencing the service project.The service project has an App.config file and that file looks like this: [code]a null reference error is thrown because my connection string is not loaded.The only connectionStrings that are loaded are from the machine.config file located in [code]If I create an application scope setting for the service, I can get that setting by using the My.Settings.setting so it's not like the App.config file is not being read.why are my connectionStrings not being loaded from the App.config file?When referencing a project(parent) from another project(child), the child's app.config is used even if the parent's classes are being used.Thus, I can get the connectionStrings to show up if I copy them over to the child's app.config. When trying to open it manually, my currentDirectory was of the child, not the parent (strange how it did not throw an exception - it wouldn't have been able to find the config file it just silently used the machine.config.

How do you read the default values from the appName.exe.config file? My application only reads these values on first installation. Subsequently, it reads the updated values sitting in the user.config file.

Added for my quick reference.When you use the following code to retrieve the values from config file in a library project.
Value = Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("KeyName")
The application will look for this key in AppSettings section of calling assembly and may lead to unpredictable results.

I have created a VB application with some web references created at design time. The URL property of each is set to Dynamic which has created a string value in My.Settings and in the app.config file.
During testing and debug the application uses one set of web services and when live it needs to use a different set of web references with a different URL. I thought I'd be able to change the values for these URL's in the MyApplication.exe.config file once installed on the PC but the application still sees the URL which was used to create the web reference at design time.
I've searched forums and this should be the way it works but I can't understand why it isn't picking up the URL for the web service from the exe.config file once I have installed the application.

So I get thrown an exception right when I try to create a new instance of my Web Service that says:
"Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'KBBVehicleService.IVehicleInformationService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element."
This is a web service that will connect to Kelley Blue Book. I know I need a new endpoint entry in my Web.Config, but what does this look like? The one I added looks like this:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:3300/KBB.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_Default" contract="Services.Client.IVehicleInformationService"/>
But it doesn't work. Still throws the same exception at the same place.

I'm building a .NET component that will call an external web service. I used the "Add Service Reference" dialog to add the web service to my component, which generates the code needed to consume the service and adds the settings to the app.config file.I'm testing the component by adding a reference to its DLL from a Console application and calling the appropriate method that creates a new instance of the web service: ... = new MyServiceSoapClient(). However, when I do this, I get the following exception:
InvalidOperationException
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'MyServicesSoap' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.This makes sense since the app.config isn't being brought over with the component's DLL. How can I call the web service without having to rely on the settings in the App.Config?

I 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?

I am creating a windows service in VS2010, and in order to store a user's input during installation I've been told to write it to a file called app.config.However i cannot find this app.config file? Does it create one in a windows service project? or just in a WCF windows service project?

I have tested my code in a windows form project and it works great. so now I want it to run as a service.The problem i have is referring to "name" in my configuration string which is in app.config.
Dim settings As ConnectionStringSettings = _
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(Name)
(Name) is under-squiggled and message name is not declared, file IO functionality is available in the microsoft.visualbasic namespace.

A Windows service written in VB.NET is using the My.Settings namespace for simplicity. There are only three settings to read, and these are read within the constructor of the ServiceLauncher.
I am attempting to install the service as such:
installutil GID.ServiceLauncher.exe
And this is successful, however the config settings it is using are not the ones within the GID.ServiceLauncher.exe.config file, instead it is using the ones baked into the app as Default Settings within Settings.Designer.vb (marked with DefaultSettingValueAttribute). [The questionable wisdom of Microsoft not allowing a developer to ignore default settings is another question entirely].
How can I further diagnose this issue, and maybe force a reload of settings? I tried calling My.Settings.Default.Reload, however this did nothing. All settings are application settings, and only differ by "value" from those in the auto generated file.
I have successfully attached the debugger using System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() and true enough, the settings are still the default settings.
In anticipation of the question, the background: The reason for requiring configuration settings is because this is a very straightforward service that simply executes an exe; and this exe is in configurable location. There are other reasons also, such as I wish to have the service name configurable without recompiling.

I built a small website and there will be only one admin, so in the admin panel I am asking for a password with a value that I do not retrieve from a database, I just hard coded it in the function in code behind, I know this is wrong though I don't know why.
So is hard coding it in web.config the right thing to do? and how?

I have VB.net console application. I would like to read the (ConnectionString) from a web.config.
Web.config is located at a particular path in my virtual PC, say "C:/mywebConfig"
<add name="MY_DB" connectionString="Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DB;Persist
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:

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.
