app.config

[Rainer Weinhold]

Hi, I added an app.config via add/new Item to my C++ project. Now when I run
the Project I cant acces the content via :
String ^str=ConfigurationSettings::AppSettings->Get("connStr");

coz the compiler or who ever should it do does not create the
MyApp.exe.config file. When I create this file manully in the debug folder
beside the compiled .exe file it works. So what do I need to do that this
file is automatically created ? In the C# version it worked without this.

regards Rainer

Add a post compile step to move the config into the proper folder. If you
have an issue doing this, check the help file under postcompilation and you
should find a doc to help you. I have the string somewhere and will post if
I find it.
