I'm reading applications .config file using .NET ConfigurationManager like it should be done, but ....
Which one is most preferred option:
- Read config and store instance of (build in or custom) ConfigurationElement for later use
- Read config and store only needed values (but not instances of ConfigrationElement classes) for later use
- Read ConfigurationElement from config always when configuration values are needed
These two things are in my mind:
- Performance impact in case 3 when reading config all the time
- Problems occuring in case 1 when using cached instances of ConfigurationElements
