Configuration in published program

[Lucia]

Hi, everybody,

I'm developing one program in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. I
defined some parameters in Settings. Now my problem is that I have no
idea where to change these parameters in my published program. There is

a file with the name testprogram.exe .config.deploy. But the program
doesn't accept the changes in thes file.


Has anyone an idea?


best regards


Lucia

Re: Configuration in published program

In the professional edition , when you build a project you have a bin
folder in the project folder. In this bin folder there are 2 other
folders 'Debug' and 'Release'
In one of these you'll find yourapp.exe and yourapp.exe.con fig. the
files in one of these folders can be copied to a user pc and then you
can modify yourapp.exe.con fig;

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Do you mean it is not possible in the express edition to change
configuration?

Just rename the file to testprogram.exe .config and place it in the same
folder as the testprogram.exe and it should pick them up
I haven't used the express edition much, but in the normal editions this
renaming and copying is done automatically if you include a file called
app.config in your project (and this file is created and added automatically
if you add a setting)

Hi, Claes,

thanks a lot.

I tried with rename and remove. It doesn't work. So I think it lies in
the express edition.
