Can't get the updated value from configurationsetting.appsetting

[Ellis Yu]

Dear All,

I use function configurationsettings.appsetting to retrieve the
connection string value which stored in a file app.config. At the beginning,
it's fine that it can pick up the value according to the key passed into
function. But after I make some change in the value of app.config, it still
pick up the old value to me, not the updated one. I'd tried to rebuild the
project or quit the vb.net and re-start it again. It still pick up the old
value to me. Is there a memory cache needed to be clear first? Can anyone
tell me what should I do? Please help. Thanks

Best Rdgs

This is normal behaviour...

There is a way to be able to watch if the value has been changed and use the
new value:

Also, be sure that you change the right file: not the one in your
source-directory, but the one in your bin-directory.

I hope this helps,

Pieter
