Hi,
Let me first get your problem correctly... You have a 4 projects, 1 which is
Windows Forms App and the other three class librarires. I assume it is going
to be DLL (basically in-process).
So in that case, you just have to have your application configuration in the
Windows Forms Application which will have the process of its own and all the
class libraries will be loaded into this process. The class libraries will
use the configuration file of the surrogate process which in this case is
the Windows forms App. You can just use the following code segment to access
the appsettings.
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[<appsettings-element>]
I guess this way you don't have to worry about multiple configuration files.
Hope this helps...
