[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 3:08 PM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Switch the app.config file used by app. I am lost in getting a use of a real config file while the user sees a local one. I tried this : AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", "\\server\path") unfortunately that will try to write data when in turn I'm trying to read the data: If AppName = "ChargeIt" Then ConnString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings( "mycompany.mybrand.ChargeIt.My.MySettings.ConnectionString" ).ConnectionString This throws an error that I already have connection string entity. So how to I change the app.config to any file I want?
