App.config and .settings ???

[VivekR]

Hi

What is the difference between App.config and .settings file ?

The .settings file is available in .NET 2.0 and not under. Am i right ?
How do you manage mulitple settings configuration ? Is it using the
<Profiles /> ?

App.config can be edited explicitly and without buildign the
application unlike the .settings file. Is that right ?

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the resposne.
Yes I read that article and all those of questions arose in my mind.

The article says "............to create profiles that store the
preferences of individual users." How do you do it?

And i see that the settings that i create and add go into the
app.config, for dlls and exes ?
How do we combine them ? Cuz for dlls, they do not see to work even
though an app.config is created. Try commenting out the
DefaultSettingValueAttribute for the settings created for the dll and
see that you will get null. So how do we combine the settings of the
dll in the exe that uses it.

The article does not compare the app.config and settings.

Explanations appreciated.

Regards
