Avantika, Glad to hear your enthusiasm. The reason I wanted to build a .NET config service is to provide a common interface for the Configuration UI (+1 btw). This is currently being discussed in the comments thread of ticket STONEHENGE-21 [1]. I put this on hold based on Shankar's recommendation that we should spec the UI before creating the .NET config service.
Shankar, Can you please provide more detail regarding the best course of action for creating the Config UI. What were you thinking? Web interface, Desktop, CLI? What language/platform?

I recently joined the Stonehenge DL, in hopes of improving the usability of the StockTrader Interop demo. In particular, I am interested in Ben's idea of a dotnet configuration service that uses the existing database tables. I was also thinking of designing a UI that allows the user to set up the configuration without going into the database. Let me know what you guys think. I look forward to working with all of you on Stonehenge! Thanks, Avantika
