Change application settings for a deployed class library?

Question

If I define application level settings (using Properties.Settings) within a class library, can I change those settings once that dll is deployed to an app? If so, how? Do I just create the equivalent setting in web.config to override it?

Answer 1

I found that you have to declare a section for the class library dll in the web.config. So, if your namespace is "Company.Application.DataLayer" you would need to have a "Company.Application.DataLayer.Properties.Settings" section declared within your "applicationSettings" section.

Note: To have that section be recognized, you must also declare it within the applicationsettings sectionGroup of your web.config.
