the app.config file is just an XML file. You can actually do some fairly funky stuff with .NET 2.0 with regard to config files. The basics are that you have:
<appSettings>
<add key="mySetting" value="someValue" />
</appSettings>Which you can read with the
ConfigurationSettingsclass in theSystem.Configurationnamespace ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["mySetting"]; ColinMackay.net "Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in." -- Confucius "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him, for an investment in knowledge pays the best interest." -- Joseph E.

The System.Configuration[^] has a number of classes that help you do this. As you are using .NET 2.0, if you look at the documentation for ConfigurationManager[^] it will show some example code that that will help (also, the examples for the related classes) ColinMackay.net "Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in." -- Confucius "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him, for an investment in knowledge pays the best interest." -- Joseph E.

Don't know. Also, this is a new question on a different topic - you should start a new thread.
