  1. First draft at a solution to show

    • Connection Strings
    • App Settings

    Whack this in the app.config:

    <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='display-config.xslt'?>

    And this is the contents of display-config.xslt:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>    <xsl:template match='/'>    <html>     <body>      <h2>Settings</h2>       <xsl:apply-templates />      </body>    </html>   </xsl:template>           <xsl:template match='connectionStrings'>    <h3>Connection Strings</h3>    <table border='1'>     <tr bgcolor='#abcdef'>      <th align='left'>Name</th>      <th align='left'>Connection String</th>     </tr>     <xsl:for-each select='add'>      <tr>       <td><xsl:value-of select='@name'/></td>       <td><xsl:value-of select='@connectionString'/></td>      </tr>     </xsl:for-each>    </table>   </xsl:template>     <xsl:template match='appSettings'>    <h3>Settings</h3>    <table border='1'>     <tr bgcolor='#abcdef'>      <th align='left'>Key</th>      <th align='left'>Value</th>     </tr>     <xsl:for-each select='add'>      <tr>       <td><xsl:value-of select='@key'/></td>       <td><xsl:value-of select='@value'/></td>      </tr>     </xsl:for-each>    </table>   </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
