Application Blocks (XML File) Configuration Manager

[Lee Connell]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Application blocks configuration manager. I am
reading the docs on how to setup the app.config file to use the proper
reader/writer. I want to use xml file. I followed the directions and I am
still getting an error in the app.config file, it's complaining about
"Unrecogniz ed configuration section", "applicationCon figurationManag ement".

Here is the app.config file declaration as the docs say:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<applicationCon figurationManag ement defaultSection= "TestConfigSect ion">
<configSectio n name="TestConfi gSection">

<configProvid er
assembly="Micro soft.Applicatio nBlocks.Configu rationManagemen t.Storage.XmlFi l
eStorage" path="C:\\Docum ents and Settings\\Lee Connell\\My
Documents\\Visu al Studio Projects\\Confi gTest\\ConfigTe st.xml"
refreshOnChange ="true" signed="false" encrypted="fals e"/>

</configSection>
</applicationConf igurationManage ment>
</configuration>

What am I missing to use this correctly?

Thank you

[Lee Connell]

Re: Application Blocks (XML File) Configuration Manager

I have tried the following also. I am pretty aggrivated right now because I
don't believe it is clear enough on how to set this. It could also be my
lack of xml xsd knowledge.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuratio n>

<configSections >

<section name="applicati onConfiguration Management"
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System.Co nfiguration,Ver s
ion=1.0.0.0,Cul ture=neutral,Pu blicKeyToken=nu ll"/>

</configSections>


<applicationCon figurationManag ement defaultSection= "TestConfigSect ion">

<configSectio n name="TestConfi gSection">

<configProvid er
assembly="Micro soft.Applicatio nBlocks.Configu rationManagemen t.Storage.XmlFi l
eStorage" path="C:\\Docum ents and Settings\\Lee Connell\\My
Documents\\Visu al Studio Projects\\Confi gTest\\ConfigTe st.xml"
refreshOnChange ="true" signed="false" encrypted="fals e"/>

</configSection>

</applicationConf igurationManage ment>

</configuration>

Re: Application Blocks (XML File) Configuration Manager

Sorry Lee,

I cant see the rest of the thread, so I dont have a clue what problem you
are seeing. But from the look of the XML config file you have shown, your
<configProvider > element is missing a "type" attribute, which tells CMAB the
name of the provider class.

Try:

type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.Configurati onManagement.St orage.XmlFileSt o
rage"

Also not sure if you need the "\\" in your path attribute or just "\" - cant
remember.

Regards
Allen

Re: Application Blocks (XML File) Configuration Manager

Hi Allen,

I sent you an email also, I don't know what you can't see?

Here is the config file I've been trying to get to work.

This is the "App.Config " file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>

<configSections >

<section

name="applicati onConfiguration Management"

type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.Configurati onManagement.Co nfigurationMana g
erSectionHandle r,Microsoft.App licationBlocks. ConfigurationMa nagement,
Version=1.0.0.0 ,Culture=neutra l,PublicKeyToke n=null"/>

</configSections>


<applicationCon figurationManag ement defaultSection= "TestConfigSect ion">

<configSectio n name="TestConfi gSection">

<configProvid er

assembly="Micro soft.Applicatio nBlocks.Configu rationManagemen t,Version=1.0.0 .
0,Culture=neutr al,PublicKeyTok en=null"

type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.Configurati onManagement.St orage.XmlFileSt o
rage"

path="C:\\Docum ents and Settings\\Lee Connell\\My Documents\\Visu al Studio
Projects\\Confi gTest\\ConfigTe st.xml"

refreshOnChange ="true"

signed="false"

encrypted="fals e"/>

</configSection>

</applicationConf igurationManage ment>

</configuration>

Here is the "ConfigTest.xml " file I want to use to read and write values to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuratio n>

<TestConfigSect ion>

</TestConfigSecti on>

</configuration>

And what is happening when you try to use these files?

Re: Application Blocks (XML File) Configuration Manager

Lee,

Add a <section> element for the TestConfigSecti on to the <configSections >
element of your application's config file, so it should look like this.


<configSections >

<section name="applicati onConfiguration Management"
type="System.Co nfiguration.Nam eValueSectionHa ndler,System.Co nfiguration,Ver s
ion=1.0.0.0,Cul ture=neutral,Pu blicKeyToken=nu ll"/>

<section name="TestConfi gSection"
type="Microsoft .ApplicationBlo cks.Configurati onManagement.Xm lHashtableSecti o
nHandler,Micros oft.Application Blocks.Configur ationManagement ,
Version=1.0.0.0 ,Culture=neutra l,PublicKeyToke n=null" />

</configSections>

Regards
Allen
