Suzanne Cook's .NET CLR Notes

Suzanne, Apparently, the contents of a configuration file are cached, so that any changes made to the file are not available until you unload the domain. Is there any mechanism to force the domain to reload the configuration?

If config files are per-appdomain; does this then mean that placing a web.config file in a web site sub-directory to do something such as alternative permissions for said folder; cause the runtime to provision a new app domain for each of the folders. If so is this done for all sub folders period or for just those with a separate web.config?

suzanne i want to ask you a question about the GAC but how can i do that, there is nowhere a link to a email adres. the question : I made my own dll and put it in the GAC the DLL contains a class called : Task this is the source i use : <%@ Import Namespace="Mpp.Wsis.Mod_sys.Task" %> <script language="VB" runat="server"> Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs) 'author = "mve,0206032108" dim task1 as Mpp.Wsis.Mod_sys.Task = new Mpp.Wsis.Mod_sys.Task(2) response.write(task1.getRelID) response.write("<br>") response.write(task1.getTaskMemo) end sub </script> the error a get is : BC30002: Type 'Mpp.Wsis.Mod_sys.Task' is not defined. can you help me, or do you know someone how can? there is so less about real asp.dotnet on internet when i put a assembly tag in my page and place the dll in de bin dir it works, but don't use the GAC and a want to use the GAC i hope to hear from you. i think you know a lot, when i read your info

thank you for your support. Off Course i'll checked the support pages first, but after 3 hour, microsoft is no longer a friend :-) solution helped!!. Other question i can not find in the support shit. I made a dll placed it in the gac and want to run, but because the gac is outside the iis enviroment, i can not use a response.write() command in the dll, is there a solution , or is it possible to add an other namespace to make it possible thanks in advanced

I have a Web Service with web.config, can I treat that as my App.config

GG: Yes, ASP.NET automatically sets the app's web.config as that appdomain's app.config.

woodm: VS doesn't automatically create an app.config for you today.

Benjamin, please read the original blog entry - it answers this exact question, with the methods to call.

Hello I would like use a file: app.config for define a new attribut for my dll.
my app.config is used for taking another class for compressed the data beetween the client and the issuer.

When I compile it, the config file isn't use.
how do that??

thanks

We are having a problem where a no-touch depolyment windows form isn't loading its app.config file. It works in all cases, except when the client has IE configured to use a proxy server. We get no errors, just the application settings collection is empty (which means our dynamic webservices fail and the application is non-functional). Any clue on this odd problem?

i can not add applicaion configurtion file in my windows application,it is not visible in add items.

Hi Suzanne;

As long as we're on the topic of setting up configuration via an AppDomainSetup object, do you have any insight into using the SetConfigurationBytes method?  I'm trying to use this method to supply app domain configuration from a custom host, but am having no success.  The configuration data I supply isn't accessed by the Configuration subsystem (e.g., application settings are not available), even though I can see my configuration from the new app domain when I call AppDomainSetup.GetConfigurationBytes.  

Obliged,

Jimbo

Thank you for this blog!  It is a big help.  What happens to a dll's config file when it gets put in the GAC?  Is the configurations at the time of the GAC install retained?

Thank you, Brett

Hi,

I have created an App.config file for my Workflow.When builded it gives me a file name as Workflow.dll.config.

I need to add this App.config in the GAC so that when the Workflow DLL is in GAC it looks at the appropriate App.config in GAC too.

Problem is that App.config is not getting added to the GAC.

any solutions?

Regards,

Shash

Hi,

I am a newbie in c# development and I have a problem with app.config files in debug time. My app.config file works right in runtime but not in debug time. Can they be used in debug time ?

My app.config file is :

<?xml version ="1.0"?>

<configuration>

           <runtime>

                      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

                                  <probing privatePath="SharedLibs"/>

                       </assemblyBinding>

           </runtime>

           <configSections>

           </configSections>

</configuration>

Thanks in advance.

Hi, do you know if there is an equivalent of the <add reference> section in the web.config for the app.config
