My desktop application communicates with a external shortwave radio and can read and store specific station names and frequencies for future recall. I have been using Configuration manager to store station name 'keys' and their respective frequency 'values'. All works great but I want to give the user the opportunity to edit the XML config file when the program is not running if desired. When I use one step publishing the MyApp.exe.config file always winds up in some obscure user folder location, eg: C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\E0GDMH8J.2HT\E6T0A4C4.NX9. The documentation seems unnecessarily complex and convoluted.
My original declaration which worked well was:
Someone suggested i use this instead:
but that still winds up in an adjacent similar folder location.
Any advice appreciated
My original declaration which worked well was:
Code:
Dim configFile = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None)Code:
Dim configFile = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.StartupPath & "\MyApp.exe")Any advice appreciated
