I'm a bit confused - the app.config file is compiled with the app, isn't ? Remember, I would like a way to read an INI file based on the location I'm working at.

Why not just use am.INI file, like the old days?


>>How can I store a DB connection string with my C# project? I have different string determined by where I'm working at, so I'd like make it work around that.
