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 ?

You should have a config file called "app.config" in your project. Upon
complilation, this file will be renamed to yourAppName.exe.config.
