Reshef Mann, one of the members of our devdiv released a nifty little utility for reading configuration files into easy to work-with type-safe interface.
Instead of trying to explain it - Here is the example from his Getting Started :
When you have .config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="MailNotificationSettings.SmtpServerAddress" value="http://localhost"/> <add key="MailNotificationSettings.Username" value="user123"/> <add key="MailNotificationSettings.Password" value="passwd123"/> </appSettings> </configuration>Define the following interface:
public interface IMailNotificationSettings { Uri SmtpServerAddress { get; } string Username { get; } string Password { get; } }And from your program use this code:
public static void Main() { ConfigurationReader configReader = new ConfigurationReader().SetupConfigOf<IMailNotificationSettings>(); IMailNotificationSettings mailNotificationSettings = configReader.ConfigBrowser.Get<IMailNotificationSettings>(); var mailNotificationService = new MailNotificationService(mailNotificationSettings); // // Do the work.. // }
The project is open sourced under the Apache 2.0 license- so feel free to use it
