Config files

[vicmann]

If xyz.exe is the executable name...

What's the purpose of "xyz.config " file?

For what is the "xyz.vshost.exe "?

Do they have to be created? Have to distribute them when distributing an
app?

Is there a special config file always called App.config? How is it different
from "xyz.config "?

It's the configuration file for xyz.exe.

For what is the "xyz.vshost.exe "?

See http://blogs.msdn.com/dtemp/archive/...17/215764.aspx

You don't want to distribute the vshost version. If you use a
configuration file, you'll need to distribute that as well.

Is there a special config file always called App.config? How is it different
from "xyz.config "?

App.config is copied to xyz.config at build time.
