Ask and store configuration variables during installation of a windows service

Question

I want to set the variables in App.config while the windows service is getting installed.

I have seen many people recommending Link :

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(exePath); 

is not working. Is it a in built code or we need to open and store variables manually?

Answer 1

Have you added the System.Configuration reference to your project?

After doing so, you have to define the following directive:

using System.Configuration;
