I have just created a WPF application and just been wondering where is my app.config file?

I looked in the bin/Debug and bin/Release directories and there is just one file "WpfApplication1.vshost.exe" and could not find any app.config file.

All I can do is Add->New Configuratin File and this too, doesn’t come in debug or Release folder.

Can anyone guide me whether I should manually copy and paste it in the debug or Release Folder?

So finally: the ANSWER

If app.config does not exist, then try creating a new one by “Add->New Item->Application Configuration File” and create a file named “App.config”. After this, try rebuilding your application, the .config file specific to your project should appear in bin/Debug & bin/Release folder.

    It should be getting copied into the Debug/Release folders automatically. However, you could try explicitly setting the “Copy to output directory” in the properties to Copy always and see if it appears.
