app.config values not reflecting changes after deployment?

[matt23lucier]

I ahve an application that I built with VS2005 using C#. This application is called 'forecasting'. When this application is deployed it renames my app.config file to forecasting.exe.config.deploy. When I run the program it runs fine, but when I go into the config file and change a few settings they are not reflected within the program when I re-run it. Is there a way on deployment to say that the config values can change?
Thanks

This total depends on how you are deploying the application.

Are you using ClickOnce deployment in VS2005?

Yes I am using the click once deployment. Is there an option that will allow me to change the config file and the changes be reflected within my program.
Thanks

We have applications which use ClickOnce deployment, and I'm sorry to say the only way that we know here is to redeploy a new version with the config changes.

We did spend quiet a bit of time investigating this issue, but never found a solution, the only way to make your config change copy down to the user is to redeploy with a new version number.

matt,

You may also consider manually replacing the config file. The changes should take effect when the App is launched again.

Good luck
