App.config issue with many projects in same solution
c#, visual-studio-2010
Solution
config file in Project X is available in Project X only. If your startup project is Y, then you need to have config file in this project. No other way to do this
UPDATE:
As an option you can you post build event and run copy command to copy config file from one project into another.
Problem
I have a solution in visual studio 2010 which constists of 7 different projects. I want to keep some settings that is used by logic in project X in project X's app.config file. However if I create an app.config like the one below: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="PrimaryEmail" value="abc@foo.com"/> <add key="CCEmail1" value="def@foo.com"/> </appSettings> </configuration> ``` and then in a class in project X uses code like this: ``` ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PrimaryEmail"] ``` it can't find it and ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Count returns 0. However if I create the same app.config in the StartUp project Y of the solution it finds the data in that one. Is it possible somehow to use the information in app.config in project X in this case? I guess it has to do soemthing with the fact that I have many projects in the same solution.
