app-config

Hi

Im trying to add a app.config file to my dll, but all attempts have failed.

According to MusicGenesis in 'Putting configuration information in a DLL' this should not be a problem. So obviously im doing something wrong...

The following code should return my connectionstring from my dll :

return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];

However, when I copy the app.config file to my console application, it works fine.

Any ideas?

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
