configuration-files

Hey guys.

I have a large config file (user) that i needed to go to the right location and have some default values.

Since i have a installer class, i added some parameter setting to the config file in it, but created the config files in the installers folder.

What is the best way to ensure these default parameters will be written only once, and in the right location?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
