Hello experts, I would like to know if there is a way to programmatically determine if the app.config is present before the application can be run? You see, I've been beta- testing my own application. Intentionally I renamed my "app.config" to "app.config.orig" (or something else if you may). The program or at least, the CLR should be able to warn me about a missing dependency file.
After renaming the app.config, the program still runs. But naturally, as you begin accessing its visual controls to perform a database action which involves instantiating objects and such, I would get an error like: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." So, before it gets to that, I want to be able to detect the presence/ absence of the app.config at run-time. How do I do this? A simple File.Exists() call won't do much. Benj
