How to read app.config file

Post by masterpix » Wed Mar 06, 2013 9:17 am

Hi,

I have a problem to read app.config file as following.

This is my app.config file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  	<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
    	<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
    	<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
  	</startup>
  	<runtime>
    	<enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"/>
  	</runtime>
	<appSettings>
		<add key="mySetting" value="hello"/>
	</appSettings>
</configuration>
and I try to read my config in user code module with following code.
void ITestModule.Run()
{
      Report.Info("My Setting=" + System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mySetting"]);
}
But it doesn't work, the report message just show "My Setting=" with blank value.
Do I miss anything on this?


I have used Ranorex 4.0 and setting the target framework to .NET 4.0 in project properties.

Regards,
Peerapat

Hello,

You could try the following line to get the content (string array) of the app.config file:
string[] content  = File.ReadAllLines(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile);
