Configuration problemI have trouble reading configuration files (configuration for class library
(dll) project). Although I've added configuration file and properly added configuration file, when I try to obtain settings via configuration manager.... simply I can't. For example ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SomeName"] is always null, although there is properly added connectionstring with "SomeName" name. What could be problem? configuration files are not available for dll project??? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance :) I've figured out what is problem. But how to solve it?
I have config file for DLL and web.config for website (DLL is middle tier for site). In class in DLL there is line: ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString "ConnString" is name within dll's config file (assemblyname.dll.config right?) but it looks like dll is reading web.config instead of dll.config? I understand that is because .NET framework searches for first config file in folder tree and web.config is first... How to tell him to read dll's config file? Maybe you have better idea? Thanks again :) P.S. Maybe I should include Settins instead of config file? Is that good solution/option?

1. I have dll project and dll project has its App.config in dll project there is for example: class ObjectInDll { SqlConnection conn; public ObjectInDll( ) { conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connString"].ConnectionString; // THERE IS connection string element with "connString" name in Dll's config file } } 2. I have web site and web site has its web.config. 3. In page class Default.aspx.cs (let it be in Page_Load event) ObjectInDll oid = new ObjectInDll(); // creation of ObjectInDll throws exception because THERE IS NO connection string element with "connString" name within web.config. So, my question is ( although I've solved problem by including Settings via property page of project) *** How to solve this, if it is possible, without inclusion of Settings, or if including Settings is good solution I can stop breaking my mind :))) (How to make ConfigurationManager to read proper config file and not first he steps on?) *** Show quote "Jeff Dillon" <jeffdil***@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23p1yvGJKHHA.2232@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > File/New ...Configuration file > "Rastko Soskic" <rsos***@statserb.sr.gov.yu> wrote in message > news:ObO$IZDKHHA.1044@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> I've figured out what is problem.
