Question

I am creating a windows service in VS2010, and in order to store a user’s input during installation I’ve been told to write it to a file called app.config.

However i cannot find this app.config file? Does it create one in a windows service project? or just in a WCF windows service project?

Answer 1

In VS do the following:

• Click on the service project
• And add new item
• Select Application Configuration File.

This will appear in your service project as app.config.

When you actually build the project you’ll see it a Spotter.exe.config along side your Spotter.exe file.
