Hi Ming, Yes, I think we can move on to this issue now. The way I imagined it, there would be an app.config setting for config service which is the default when the application is started. When the config tab is clicked, the first screen asks you to specify the config service (which overwrites the variable holding the Config Service endpoint) - this cn be just like the PHP as you suggested. Then there's a continue button which takes you to the next few pages (Basic Config & Advanced Config). We need this because the drop down lists are populated using the Config Service so it needs to be specified first.
Any thoughts on this design?

As advanced Config Service is finished in both .NET and Metro version, we now can update config service and add new config service from web page very easily. Besides that, we can switch the implementations of Config Service between .NET and Metro to test the interoperability, of which the only change is to set the address of Config Service in the config files. Currently, we have separate static config files in .NET and Metro's implementation of Config Service, so every time we want to change the config service, we need to change config files and restart the application to make the changes take effect. So do we need a web page where we can set the address of config service we want to use so we don't need to change config files and restart the application again, like it works in the PHP version? How do you think? --- Ming Jin Consultant Thoughtworks, Inc
