single binary

How do I hardcode config properties in my binary?
I would like to put this app.config into my c# source code

<configuration>
<system.net>
<settings>
<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true"/>
</settings>
</system.net>
</configuration>

Is this possible?

Hello, Howard!

H> <configuration>
H> <system.net>
H> <settings>
H> <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true"/>
H> </settings>
H> </system.net>
H> </configuration>

You can do that without config file.
Take a look at

However, this way uses undocummented stuff that can change in the future.

You can certainly declare a public or static class member that is a boolean,
and use that when you create a WebRequest in your class. However, what I
think is confusing you is that a config file is an XML text file, which
represents data. That same data, in a binary, would not be encoded as XML,
which is used for text representation of data.

IMO OP here meant that he wants do the same setup actions ( that are stated in config ), but without actually using config file - that is using some kind of API.
Setup action here will be setting flag, that will influence HTTP data parsing process ( useUnsafeHeaderParsing ).

Hi,

You can include any file you want in your binary, the problem in this case
is that you cannot use the default framework config class. You will have to
implement your own.

IIRC there is one Config class just like that as part of the opennetcf.org
framework, download it and use the class, but instead of reading a file you
read it from a file you read it from the resources.

Yes, this can be done. See:

:) Thats the same link I've alread posted.

IMO based on the link we can say that we're not using config in the file form.
Yes, we access classes that use that config, but we do not have to supply config file - its all in code...

how do I implement this code??
where should I make the call from? in program main?

sorry, but im a little confused. i thought it would be something like this

system.net.configureation.httpwebrequest.useUnsafeHeaderParsing = true;
