SharpShell组合件的app.config安装在哪里？

Question

I created a shell context extension using the SharpShell nuget package. I then used the ServerManager executable to help install/register my assembly, and it works.

The problem I am running into is that I have no idea where the app.config is installed. I have a user setting that I want to adjust, but I can't find the proper app.config file. Where exactly does the app.config get stored for shell extension assemblies?

Answer 1

Using the normal configuration manager, the xxx.exe.config file will be read in the directory where the main (EXE) assembly is, not the DLL.

This makes it difficult if someone wants a config for a DLL. I stumbled about this some time ago, where I had an application based on MS Access with many additional libraries. One of them needed a config file. We had to install a msaccess.exe.config in the MS access application directory. Not very elegant.

So, in your case it probably will be C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe.config
