[Cacho]

Hi All

I'm totally new to vbasic net and need to get values from a config files
in the way:

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Desvio" value="65282561 6" />
<add key="MargenStri ng" value="10" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>


Could somebody give and example of how to do it ?


Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply.

I did in that way but it didn't worked and I'm going to be crazy !>..

I did:

Dim ConnectionStrin g As String
Dim MargenString As String
Dim Desvio As String

Desvio = System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings("Desv io")
System.Console. WriteLine(Desvi o)

MargenString =
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings("Marg enString")
System.Console. WriteLine(Marge nString)

ConnectionStrin g =
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings("Conn ectionString")
System.Console. WriteLine(Conne ctionString)

--------------

and in config file I've:

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="Desvio" value="65282561 6" />
<add key="MargenStri ng" value="10" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>



But when I run my application I see:

---------
C:\tmp1>.\prueb aSQL.exe


Network Library=DBMSSOC N;Data Source=localhos t;Initial atalog=segex;Us er
ID=sa;Password= sa
----------------


Program showed me the string of a parameter I deleted from config file
and didn't show me exsitent parameters !!!

How is posible ? Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a kind of cache
that keeps data ?

Thanks in advance

Re: Read Configuration

This 'should' work! Personally I like to import the classes to reduce coding
and make it more manageable BUT it makes no difference to the operation of
the code.

Imports System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings

Private Sub AppConfig

Dim Desvio,MargenSt ring as String
Desvio = AppSettings("De svio")
MargenString = AppSettings("Ma rgenString")

End Sub

I wonder if you have edited the correct app.config file. You might want to
check in the IDE AFTER you have built your project. Select to view all files
and review the contents of the .exe.config file in your bin subdir.

HTH, Phil
