(c#) how do i disable the code from configuration file? (the xml.. the .config file)

[halimunan]

hi all,

i have this program that will run and the result is based on the .config file.
how do i disable the code from the config file ?

for example...

i want some method to not functioning when i change the variable in the config file..

e.g:

my .exe file will copy and delete files at the same time..
how do i disable the copy function so that the .exe will only delete when i reun the exe file.

of course i can determine it in the .config file..


thanks..

if possible can reply asap!

If I understand you correctly, delete the variable from the web.config and add it programmtically . If not please give a clearer explanation. Thank.

erm.. okay, let me give a clearer explanation...

- my .exe program will run to copy and delete files at the same time.

- it will copy from folder "a" to folder "b"

- and then delete some files from both folders

- the copy and delete depends on the variable which i can determine in the .config file

- how do make the .exe file "just delete and not copy" ?? which also means that i disable the copyFile codes from the source

- or is there any other way rather than disabling the copyFile code(which is the only way i`ve been thinking of) ??


- its actually a backup program which can copy from folder "a" to folder "b" and delete files at whichever folder depending on the days to be retained

- e.g: it will delete only files that are 5 days old. and that days are configurable in the .config file

- so how do i make the .exe program running without copying the file.. just deleting the file.. and i should do that in the .config file only..

- thanks for the help..

- p/s 1 more thing : i couldnt delete the folders in the folder.. sigh.. it keeps checking the "read only" attributes

- even after i unchecked it.. can anyony help?

I was thinking that there was a way to not use the web.config to delete files and do it programmaticall y, but this not you want. There is also deletefile. Anyone else?
