settings.settings ??

[Søren M. Olesen]

Hi

How is the settings.settings supposed to be used???

If I add it to a class library, I get a app.config file with a
<applicationSettings> section, containing my settings. However if I include
this class library in a web-project, it seems like I have to copy this
<applicationSettings> settings into the web.config file of my web.config
file if I want to override some of the settings....
Now I have quite a number of Class libraries, each with it own different set
of settings, and I use these libraries in a number of projects, so I quite a
taks to make sure all <applicationSettings> sections are in all the right
places....

Isn't there a way to put all the settings into one file and then refer to
this file with something like:

<applicationSettings file="commom.config" />
or something similar???

TIA

Søren

Absolutley, take a look at the following URL:

As well the the Patterns and Pratices Enterprise Library provides a
configuration block that will allow you to accomplish this

See the Configuration Application Block for more details:

Thanks for your reply...however using the files="..." option seems to only
work for the <appSettings> section, not the <applicationSettings>...kind of
wierd though....
