Central Application Configuration

Asked by MrManderson in MS SQL Server, .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Hi All

Im looking for some ideas on what you think would be the best option for the following...

I have a Client-Server application under development in which the server is a dedicated machine with a SQL database.
I plan to have the application as a 2 part install, the server application consisting of the database install scripts etc.. and a couple of services. And with the client deployed and pointed to the server.

Now I would like the clients to get their configuration settings from the server so any changes made are reflected instantly on the clients without having to redeploy any local config files. As such what would be the best option to store and pass these settings out?

At present I have a database table with a single row containing these (It works..) but could also have a shared folder with an XML file...

What do yous think would be the best way to achive the desired result?

Many Thanks
