Newbie question -
I want to have a configurable parameters for a service I'm developing. The parameters would hold things such as a DB connection string, or maybe the name of a directory. This file (probably XML, I'd guess) needs to be modifiable on the machine the service is deployed on (ie, not bundled in the service installation itself).
My question is: what is the best way to do this? I don't really want to use the registry. Restarting the service after an update to the config file is fine.
Anybody have any examples / samples / articles / web sites to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
