How can I specify a single .config file for multiple EXE projects in .NET
- by Russ
I have a project that I am breaking up into multiple .exe projects. I still plan on publishing them, using click once, into the same location at the same time, and I would like to use the same config file.
I have added the app.config to each project using the "Add link" option in Visual Studio, which is great for debugging, but in production, when I compile each exe project, the app.config is not copied into the "master project"'s bin folder.
example:
master.exe with master.exe.config
master.exe may launch order.exe based on user settings
master.exe may launch returns.exe based on user settings
master, order, and returns will all reside in the same folder, and should share a single config file.
