What are experienced folks doing to read configuration information from files?

I did not see a way to use the System.Configuration bits, and I would like to set a destination address for sending output via a file to avoid hardcoding.

 

All ideas appreciated.

 

 

Thanks.

I might have miss understood the question but just in case it helps I'll chip in. I store config files on the SD Card by writing a csv to it. Then reading it and splitting it into an int array. I can store a ton of variables that way I want to be available after a reboot. I doubt that's what your asking about but you never know. Might help someone.

Grant, that does help a bit.... In the non-Micro .NET Framework, the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager class wraps a well-defined XML structure for containing strongly typed key/value pairs of data, and other meta-info. If you have written something yourself then there is probably no baked-in equivalent to ConfigurationManager, so I will write something myself, as you have already done.

 

 

Thanks.
