VB .net App.Config file in the project

[AmolP]

Hello,
According to my understandings
I can only have 1 app.config file in my windows application.
Now I have ApplicationSettings in one of my Dll projects.
<applicationSettings>
<ABCdll.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="ABCConnectionString" serializeAs="String">
<value>ABCConnectionString</value>
</setting>
</ABCdll.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
When i deploy the application will it automatically copy this from my dll project app.config to main projects app.config?

I don't think you should have any problem with this. EnterpriseLibrary will compile entire project without any problem only it will make it hidden which you can make visible manually.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
But I can not make any changes in feature regarding the applicationSettings values.
I know that the configuration manager does not have the "ApplicationSettings" property.
eg.
string str = (string)Properties.Settings.Default["aaa"];
I can use tis to access the <applicationSettings> in it's own app.config file.

If you insist on using appSettings read the value using
OpenExeConfiguration/OpenMappedExeConfiguration

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); AppSettingsSection section = config.AppSettings;
string str = section.Settings["MyKey"].Value;
