Question

HI,
I want to have set configuration settings for a unit test project that is only relative for one machine ( i.e build machine). So for e.g. is the unit test project is being compiled on a developer machine then use settings A from App.config, if it’s compiled on a build machine then use settings B from App.config. Is there a best practice for this sort of things?

Answer 1

In the appSettings tag, you can add an attribute like:

<appSettings file="moreSettings.config">

Inside the ‘moreSettings.config’ file, you create an tag that contains key-value pairs for any of the key-value pairs that you want to override from the main App.config file.
