Config file for DLL

Irv Adams

To All:

I have a C# EXE and a C# DLL that is used by the EXE. I have a config file for both, created via the Properties tab and named .exe.Config and .dll.config. I can read and update the C# EXE Config file just fine but there seems to be a strange caching situation with the Config for the DLL. I can make a change and it will take a long tiome to see it, or it won't really change until I alter it within the DLL code and rebuild.

Any ideas, thanks!

Thanks for the reply. What I'm trying to do is change the value of the config property outside of the program and then trying to get the program (Dll) to see the change. The change is only seen if I go into the code and change it in the Properties/Settngs tab and recompile. The property is an appllication type but I tried user type also with the same results.

Appreciate any ideas,

Irv Adams.

Might be a dumb question but are you calling save on the setting after changing it?

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Properties.Settings.Default.Greeting = textBox1.Text;

Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

}
