| | MyApp.exe.config vs MyApp.config Hi, thanks for the reply, but I don't think this will help - a) I have a native project (c++) b) I already have a AppName.exe.config and it is ignored, renaming it to AppName.config makes the system consider it. I've find out that this happens if I use Run-Time Library "Multi-Threaded" (/MT). If I use "Multi-Threaded Dll" (/MD) then the AppName.exe.config is NOT ignored. any idea why ?
