URGENT - C# Windows App Config File
Hi All,
For Some reason my windows app isn't pulling the config settings and it's driving me nuts.
Added the config through solution explorer. Named it test.config
My Config File:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="dbConnString" value="server=127.0.0.1;ui
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Accessing in the code like this:
private String dbConnString = ConfigurationSettings.AppS
Am I missing something? I haven't touched the assembly at all, do I need to add it to GAC or anything before the config will take effect?

ASKER
anyway to make it compile and put it in the debug bin then?

Also just tried it that way (to try to brute force it) It didn't work there either.
your config file isn't "compiled".
other key part is the name of the file.

other key part is the name of the file.

you said test.config....
for test.exe ... it should be named test.exe.config

I switched it to test.exe and test.exe.config. Still no luck.

Solution presented:
I deleted ALL config files. Created 1 new config named app.config. It now works :-). Thanks very much for your help.

note in particular
"The configuration file should be in the same directory as the application. The name of the configuration file should have the same name as the application with .config at the end. For example, an application called Watcher.exe should have a configuration file called Watcher.exe.config."
