.NET单击“一次部署” App.config

Question

I am using VS2008 SP1 ClickOnce Deployment to deploy an application. The application references a web service which stores connection details in the app.config file. For example, the following is stored:

<client>
 <endpoint address="http://someservice.com/someservice" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ServiceSoapBinding" contract="AService.AService" name="AServicePort"  behaviorConfiguration="endPointBehavior"/>
</client>

I need to be able to verify the value of this end point address on the deployed application. I have full access each of the deployed files on the server but I don't see a reference to any of the app.config entries.

Where are app.config settings stored in the published data and how can I access them?

Kind Regards,
F.

Application settings consumes two files: app.exe.config and user.config, where app is the name of your Windows Forms application. user.config is created on the client the first time your application stores user-scoped settings. app.exe.config, by contrast, will exist prior to deployment if you define default values for settings. Visual Studio will include this file automatically when you use its Publish command. If you create your ClickOnce application using Mage.exe or MageUI.exe, you must make sure this file is included with your application's other files when you populate your application manifest.

It's name is app.exe.config.deploy and its located in the top folder where you deploy under the Application Files folder under the version folder.

For example if your app is deployed to " C:\\App " then it will be located on " C:\\App\\Application Files\\DirectoryPerVersion\\ProjectName.exe.config.deploy "
