Saving\Reading Configuration parameters in a WebService.

[Gilad Kapelushnik]

Hello. I'm writting a web service which is constructed of some DLLs. Each dll has its configuration properties. I would like to be able to save & read these configuration paramaters in files (a file for each DLL) during runtime. I found endless classes from Framework 2.0 that claim to do this but haven't found nothing that saves the configuration to a simple file and reads it back in a simple manner. In the Configuration namespace I found a way to save paramaters. I constructed a ConfigurationSection and was able to save it into a file but found no way to read it (very strange to find a SaveAs mathod without a Read method). Just saving it would create a XXX.exe.config which isn't going to work for the webservice. Any ideas ? Gilad.

Hi there, Here are a couple of tips which are already documented in MSDN: + You can use the methods of the ConfigurationManager or WebConfigurationManager to open the config file, and these methods basically return the Configuration object. + The Configuration object provides you with the GetSection, GetSectionGroup to read the configuration settings, and the Save, SaveAs methods to save the settings.
