App.config for VSPackage does not return any value for any key! ( VS SDK 2005 C#)

Question

Hi,

I am developing a VSPackage in VS 2005 using C# language.

Is it possible to have a config file for a VSPackage?

I have added a config file to my package and the appsettings["key"] always has no value, though there are few key value pairs defined in the app.config file.

This VSPacakge is of the form class library. so is it possible to  have app.config file for VSPackage? If yes, can anyone help me with a code snippet of how to use it?

Thanks,
Nayana

Hi Nayana,

As far as I know, Config file is not used to save configuration information in VSPackage. It usually locate state information in System Registry or application data folder for the current user which the Package class provides support for.

For more information, please see the following article:

• Support for State Persistence (C#)
• VSPackage State

If I misunderstood you, or you have any questions, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Nancy
