If you desperately need some sort of "per-assembly" config files, you might consider also using Mike Woodring's nice little extension class, which allows you to use dll.config files:

I wouldn't recommend this since it would complicate your implementation significantly for very little benefit. Is there any particular reason you don't want to persist the connection string in the default configuration file? If you want to mark the string out in the config file you could implement a custom configuration handler so that it was something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <yourlibrary> <settings> <setting name="db" value="..." /> </settings> </yourlibrary> </configuration> Look up the System.Configuration namespace, its fairly straight-forward in terms of implementation. ---------------------------------------- - Mitch Denny - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +61 (414) 610-141 - -----Original Message----- From: The DOTNET list will be retired 7/1/02 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Nischal Muthana Sent: Friday, 14 June 2002 10:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] .config for Class Library Hi All I created a C# class library with couple of .cs files in it. One of the class connects to the database and does some inserting. My question here is, Can I have a config file in which I can specify the connection string of the database instead of specfying in the class. I know there is something called Appname.exe.config for the exe based applications. And also I looked at the machine.config option. But nobody wants me touch the production box and play with machine.config. So is there a way I can I have a config file for the class libraries(dll) Thanks Nischal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
