Re: WSE 3.0 settings


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.

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)

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?

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
