configuration-files

I'm creating a MSI setup with WIX for my Web Application. This works correct. The only thing that I don't get to work is to enabling the config transformation of the standard web application publish method. I understand that you can add the using tag for existing target files. I try'ed to add the TransformXml to the AfterBuild Target in the project file of the WIX installer but that doesn't work. <TransformXml Source="Web.Config" Transform="Web.$(Configuration).config" Destination="Web.Config" /> Can someone help me? I created a test project for this called WebApplicationWix I didn't see any

I am just starting to use WiX as my installation framework for my existing application. The application has an App.Config file that controls various customer-specific settings. The majority of these settings are modified in-house, and are not user-controllable. An example of such a config file would be: [...snip] <applicationSettings> <setting name="DatabaseConnectionString" serializeAs="String"> <value>Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=CustomersDatabase;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=True</value> </setting> </applicationSettings> [snip...] When a newer version of the

I want to use a custom path for a user.config file, rather than have .NET read it from the default location. I am opening the file like this: ExeConfigurationFileMap configMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap(); configMap.ExeConfigFilename = String.Format("{0}\\user.config",AppDataPath); Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoamingAndLocal); But I can't figure out how to actually read settings out of it, I get a compile error saying that the values are inaccessible when I try to get a value through AppData or

Is it possible to create a custom configuration file (other than app.config) that can be processed by classes in the System.Configuration namespace? I have seen a ton of articles that talk about custom sections (inside the app.config file) but I would like to make an entirely new config file. Is there any decent documentation that covers this topic? thanks You do not state what you want to achieve by having a separate file, but there are a couple of different things you can do. If you want to "modularize" you configuration, you can break out certain config sections to separate files, using the

I'm trying to check if .mobileconfig file installed on the iOS device. I've tried an approach which described by this link http://blog.markhorgan.com/?p=701 , but I'm fail with it. Maybe someone have other ideas or whatever ... ? Thank in advance. Why do you need to know if a configuration profile is installed on the device? Apple doesn't provide API to check if configuration profiles are installed as it would be a privacy invasion of the app into the user's setup (unless the configuration profile was installed by the app, which is usually vended through specific API like Network Extension).
