[Vicky via DotNetMonster.com]

Please help to put directory path to app.config file!

//DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\Vicky Development\\FundExplorer\
\Index\\Copy of IntlIndex");

//string dipath = @"C:\Vicky Development\FundExplorer\Index\Copy of
IntlIndex";

//DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(dipath);

System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader appReader =

new System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader();

string diPath = (string)appReader.GetValue(

"DirectoryPath",typeof(string));

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(diPath);

// Get a reference to each file in that directory.

FileInfo[] fiArr = di.GetFiles();

<add key="DirectoryPath" value=@"C:\VickydDevelopment\FundExplorer\Index\>
Copy of IntlIndex"; />

Your app.config has VickydDevelopment instead of Vicky Development.

Hi,

You cannot modify app.config,

If you want to get a value stored there use
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings

ITOH you do not need to use @ in the XML file, all you have to do is enclose
the value in "

neither you need a ; at the end

<add key="DirectoryPath" value="C:\VickydDevelopment\FundExplorer\Index\Copy
of IntlIndex" />


cheers,
