App.exe.config disappears

[manana]

MyApp.exe.config (for MyApp.exe) is located in the bin folder.

Everytime I run or compile the project, the file disappears.

In addition, the appSettings values return "" (no error).

Are there any obscure settings that control this?

I think it is overwritten as part of the build process. Add a configuration file to the project and it should be copied to the bin directory as part of the build.

Thanks.

 

I was using 'Add Item>Config File'

from the bin folder instead of from the project.

 

Have a nice day
