config file automatically deleted!

[Lei Jiang]

I created a WinForms app (MyApp.exe), and created a config
file(MyApp.exe.config) in it's output directory. However, whenever the build
finished, the config file is deleted automatically!!! Besides, anyother
*.config files in the output directory (there are several projects that
share the same output directory) is also deleted!

Has anyone encounter the same problem?

i gues u must be using VS 2003.

"Your config file should be included as a file *within* your project and
should be named "app.config". VS will rename it and store it in the correct
output directory at build time.

It's not case sensitive, "app.config" works too, I just tried it
