Am I the only C# develeoper who HATES web config files....?
-
These files are a pain to work with, are full of meaningless gibberish, and we are expected to add this guff without any support from Visual Studio... Does anyone know every section and item that a web config file can hold?
You're going to propose a better alternative?

You can create and add your own custom sections, so I guess the answer to that question is 'no' :) Have you tried appsettings.json yet?
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
I'm not sure how replacing a
<>delimited tag soup with a{}delimited tag soup that doesn't allow comments is supposed to be an improvement. :rolleyes:Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I agree.. it's fine for simple stuff, much like XML was. When you've got 200+ lines of config json to look through, it's not so easy.. :~

I don't see any reason why a c# developer would hate web.config or app.config as they provide the flexibility to change the configuration level things without rebuilding and redeploying the application. They are quite useful in my opinion. :)

How dare you bring up such a vile topic. :rolleyes: Gives me the heebie jeebies.

Sometimes, code is easier.

Nope! Most definitely not the only one. Though, I did just get done writing an interpreter that executes fairly simple scripts written in XML.

Ok, to clarify. The web/app config files of themselves are ok. Better than Registry entries ;) Working with them, however, is a pain. There's very little intellisense, and finding out what you need to add is difficult. Yes, I am proposing something better - Visual Studio should have a GUI tool to create these files, with drop-down menus of choices, check-boxes for true/false options, etc.

Bring back JCL!

Yep. It's for a wrapper we use in all of our packaged software we deploy. Since we have to support 8 different platforms, it makes packaging and deploying software a bit ... complicated. Script support makes life a whole lot easier. Using an XML-based solution made parsing and syntax checking a piece of cake and I had to bang out a solution quickly. This also makes it easy for our QA and deployment tools to parse and check too.

Try keeping up with INI files. :-\
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
You're telling me about INI files? I've installed OS/2....
