Configuration

[Paul Ledger]

I've written a control and I want to be able to pass certain information to
it via a configuration file. I've created the config using the namespace +
dll + config and I've placed it in the bin directory on the website. But when
it comes to reading the information from the file using...

string repositoryClass =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("ICacheRepositoryClass");

I always get null as the value

Is there anyway of finding exactly where .NET looks for the file?

Hope someone can help

Hi Paul, the problem is that the ConfigurationsSettings.AppSetings
reads from the file "AppName.exe.config" or "Web.config" (depending if
it's a winforms or web project). The configuration file you are
searching for is not on the bin directory, but outside, with the asmx
files.
