Remarks
DevForce probes for a .config file somewhat differently than standard .NET looks for the .config file. The probing sequence DevForce uses to find this file is as follows - note that probing continues until a valid configuration is found and loaded -
1) If the ConfigFileLocation static property is set, this directory is searched for any file named or matching "*.exe.config", "web.config" or "app.config", in this order. Note that any files matching *.dll.config will not be found.
2) If the ConfigFileAssembly static property is set, the assembly is probed for an embedded resource named "app.config".
3) The BaseAppDirectory for a file named or matching "*.exe.config" or "web.config" or "app.config", in this order. This property is readonly and determined at run time, and is usually the directory from which the entry assembly was loaded.
4) An embedded resource named "app.config" in the entry assembly.
If configuration information cannot be found or cannot be loaded, then your application may not run correctly. If your configuration cannot be loaded or you think the wrong information has been loaded, check the logFile output (usually named debuglog.xml) for tracing messages. All probe attempts are written to the log file.
The .config file holding the IdeaBlade configuration information can also contain other configuration sections. If you embed the file in an assembly .NET will be unable to find these other configuration sections, since embedding the app.config is a DevForce-specific feature. In these situations, you should instead use an appropriately named loose .config file (e.g., MyApp.exe.config, web.config) so that the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager can load all configuration data.
