如何设置app.config键值？

Question

I want to set some keys in .NET console application's app.config file.

Like :

<add key="Success" value="<Status>Success</Status>"/>
<add key="Error"   value="<Status>Error</Status>"/>

But it's not allowing me to do that set values in <> brackets.Can we set key values like this ?

Answer 1

我们可以将转义字符用于大于和小于符号，如下所示：

<add key="Success" value="&lt;Status&gt;Success&lt;/Status&gt;"/>

Answer 2

You should escape your < and > , like this

<add key="Success" value="&lt;Status&gt;Success&lt;/Status&gt;"/>
<add key="Error"   value="&lt;Status&gt;Error&lt;/Status&gt;"/>

Note that forward slash in the </Status> should be OK and doesn't need to be escaped.
