Problem with config files in VB.NET 2003
Arthur,
Thanks for the info. Seems the Q313405 article is indeed wrong.
The correct procedure is to add the file 'App.config' to the project (the
name of the file is important!) and then Visual Studio will indeed copy this
to yourapp.exe.config in the bin dir.
regards,
Stefan
