Using app.config

csharp Greece
  • 12 years ago
    I am using C# Express edition. I have created a simple solution that is made up of 2 projects, a UI (user interface) project and a DAL (data access layer) project. Both projects have their own config files, the UI config contains things like date formats, display preferences, etc. while the DAL config contains things like DB connection strings, etc. The problem comes in here. The UI references the DAL project (a class library) and when I compile the solution the DAL's config file is unavailable. It is however available in the DAL bin/release(debug) folder but not in the UI bin bin/release(debug) folder. If the referenced DAL.dll is placed in the UI bin/release(debug) folder then shouldn't the config file (DAL.dll.config) be as well ?
