Adding a App.config to a Addin Project

hi,

How to access the contents of App.config file in a addin project after adding the key value pair?
These statements are not working Properly.

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[keyname]

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.GetValues(keyname);


This is working fine for other projects such as WindowsApplication and WebApplication and throwing error only in Addin Project.
Thanks in Advance,

Aravind

Hi Aravind,

Application configuration files are associated with the .exe that starts the app, and cannot be associated with .dlls. In order for your .dll to read data out of a configuration file, you'll have to have it added to the MainApplication.exe.config file. At that point, you can read it using the standard APIs you mention above.
