How can I add a configuration file to Visual Studio 2012 Web Express library project?
I tried following the msdn instructions but I just don’t have the Application Configuration File template. I tried looking all over in the properties of the project to specify the config file, but it’s nowhere to be found.
Any ideas?
Libraries don’t generally have configuration files. When an application loads, the configuration it loads will be the one associated with that application – not the libraries within it.
You can create app config files for libraries, and load them explicitly – but it’s a bit of a pain. Consider exposing configuration directly in your API, and allowing the application consuming the library to provide the configuration appropriately.
