Attributes

Examples

The following example stores additional appSettings values in an external configuration file and saves the name of this file in the File property.

// This function shows how to use the File property of the
// appSettings section.
// The File property is used to specify an auxiliary 
// configuration file.
// Usually you create an auxiliary file off-line to store 
// additional settings that you can modify as needed without
// causing an application restart,as in the case of a Web 
// application.
// These settings are then added to the ones defined in the
// application configuration file.
static void  IntializeConfigurationFile()
{
    // Create a set of unique key/value pairs to store in
    // the appSettings section of an auxiliary configuration
    // file.
    string time1 = String.Concat(DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString(),
                           " ", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());

    string time2 = String.Concat(DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString(),
                           " ", new DateTime(2009, 06, 30).ToLongTimeString());
   
    string[] buffer = {"<appSettings>",
    "<add key='AuxAppStg0' value='" + time1 + "'/>", 
    "<add key='AuxAppStg1' value='" + time2 + "'/>",
    "</appSettings>"};

    // Create an auxiliary configuration file and store the
    // appSettings defined before.
    // Note creating a file at run-time is just for demo 
    // purposes to run this example.
    File.WriteAllLines("auxiliaryFile.config", buffer);
    
    // Get the current configuration associated
    // with the application.
    System.Configuration.Configuration config =
       ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

    // Associate the auxiliary with the default
    // configuration file. 
    System.Configuration.AppSettingsSection appSettings = config.AppSettings;
    appSettings.File = "auxiliaryFile.config";
    
    // Save the configuration file.
    config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);

    // Force a reload in memory of the 
    // changed section.
    ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");
