Question

I have an application that contain one exe file and several dlls. In one of the classes in my dll file I use ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration to read settings that declare in the main exe file. but when I change the values of sections manually in the file it always return the initial value that I set at the first time.

please tell me what I must do for reading settings from a specific config file in my application.

here’s my applicationSettings:

<applicationSettings>
  <UltraData.Bonus.BonusControler.Properties.Settings>
    <setting name="ProviderName" serializeAs="String">
      <value>WebProvider</value>
    </setting>
  </UltraData.Bonus.BonusControler.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>

and I want to read ProviderName value.

Answer 1

I find out where is my mistake. I must use <appSettings> instead of <applicationSettings> and read those settings by using ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProviderName"]
