.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / February 2006WSE 3.0 settings
Hi, I have a scenario as follow: The client application is Windows form which is using bunch of DLLs (.NET) also. One of the dll provides access to the web service. If I put WSE configuration settings in the DLL (Say MyDLL.DLL.Config) config file then the Client exe (Say MyApp.Exe) does not apply those settings. From the design point of view it becomes the responsibility of dll to apply those settings. My question is how the WSE 3.0 will find those settings in MyDLL.DLL.Config file instead of MyApp.exe.config file ?? Do I have to do it in code ? Any idea ??? Thanks KDV All of the configuration needs to reside in the config file for the exe. When you are developing, they are in different project folders, but when it is deployed, they are all in one folder and the exe provides the config as well as the policy file. I remember scratching my head over this in WSE 2 when I first started using it in a solution that had many projects and I was configuring the wse properties for the individual projects that were class libraries. So just do all of your wse 3 settings on the main exe project Make sense? julie > Hi, > I have a scenario as follow: [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Thanks > KDV I understand your point. I can make it work by putting all settings in main exe file. That is how I am doing now (for time being). But let us assume that I want to use third party DLL (Or I have to develop a DLL to be used in other projects) which provides access to database. Only DLL knows whether to look in the local database or access a webservice. So that means if I have to use that DLL then I have to copy/paste all the settings from the third party dll config file and put it in my main exe file. This seems a bit odd and destroys the encapsulation concept. But my concern is to confirm if it is possible or not to create some sort of link between main exe config and my custom config file so that main exe just point to the secondary config file and let WSE know where to look for settings. (Just like I can put a file attribute in appSettings settings to load settings from other file) Just to know if it is possible or not. If not then I have no choice. Tomorrow when I have to use more DLLs each is accessing a web service of diff kind then it will be messy. See, I can add web reference in DLL projects and it does its job(Then for WSE settings I have to go to caller application config file. A bit odd) Thanks KDV > All of the configuration needs to reside in the config file for the exe. > When you are developing, they are in different project folders, but when it [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Thanks > > KDV I know in a web app that if you have sub directories with their own web.configs, they will take precedence over the parent config. I wonder what would happen if you put the dlls in a subfolder with their own app.configs and policy file. This is just grabbing at straws as I haven't done this and do not have time to experiment. The main exe will have to know how to find that assembly to. Just an idea. But I do not have the personal knowledge to advise you on this. julie >I understand your point.

I can even change in AppDomain where to find config file but that will allow only one time and only one entry. So the idea is that WSE runtime should look for the settings in the calling assembly config file (Calling assembly for WSE runtime could be DLL or EXE) but not what is stored in AppDomain I will be more than happy and thankful if anybody can tell if there is any possiblility or not.
