When you are creating your custom types in the app.config do you get intellisense to aid you?
Or is it a case of programming in XML ‘on your own’? It does not appear to be working for me, if this is the case that’s fine but if intellisense is meant to work I know I’m doing something wrong.
Thanks
No, not by default.
If you want intellisense, it is possible. Then you should write an XML schema for your configuration section, and reference it in the config file (put xmlns=yournamespace on the the configuration element and make sure Visual Studio knows where to find the schema).
