Problem with loading app.config

[DoB]

Hi,

I was trying to configure the Trace class using the app.config. I was
followig the example configurations in the MSDN.
However, as I debug the program, the Trace class seems to ignore the
configuration. For example - it has its default and only listener while I
removed it and added some other listeners in a config file.

Am I missing something? Is any explicit call needed to load the trace
configuration part?

Hi - I think you need to be aware that "app.config " is not the real name of
the configuration file your program uses (at least as far as I have seen).
This might be the name you see in Visual Studio, but when you compile the
file is automatically renamed to something like
"application_na me.exe.config".

So check this file exists and is in the right place.

Re: Problem with loading app.config

OK. Solved.
It was actually loading, but the configuration was incorrect :-)
Sorry for troubling.
