Hi All,

We use the caching and logging application blocks from entlib 4.1. We want to keep the configuration of those two in seperate files. How can we achieve this?

It looks like entlib is always using the selectedSource as it configuration.

I tried the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>    
<configuration> 
  <configSections>    
    <section name="enterpriseLibrary.ConfigurationSource" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.ConfigurationSourceSection, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9057346a2b2dcfc8" />

  </configSections>

  <enterpriseLibrary.ConfigurationSource selectedSource="messagesCache">    
    <sources>    
      <add name="messagesCache" filePath="Configuration\\messagesCache.config"  type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.FileConfigurationSource, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9057346a2b2dcfc8" />    
      <add name="logging" filePath="Configuration\\logging.config"  type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.FileConfigurationSource, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9057346a2b2dcfc8" />    
    </sources>

  </enterpriseLibrary.ConfigurationSource>    
</configuration>

But this doesn't work because the application blocks always use the selectedSource attribute value.

Any suggestions woulde be welcome!
