John, That one was one of the links i included and registered a configuration component in the xml file, which could then be used by the components which were registered using the fluent configuration when those components are being resolved. I would rather not to use a single configuration component for all these settings as they are not related i.e. database connection string, max queue length, retry count etc. Very often a dependant component will only depend on a single property as a constructor parameter, so using properties from the external configuration file as ideal. I could create a number of configuration components where all related settings are in the same components, but if there was a way to access properties from the configuration file when doing the fluent registration, i could avoid creating and registering any of these configuration components
