Configuration Management Application Block

Anyone have any experience with Microsoft CMS app block? This is an older piece of code on their website, but it looks like it might be useful as a standard way to store / read configuration values ​​for .Net applications. Is it a good / bad tool, overkill, what better options might be available in later versions of the framework, etc.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

I never felt limited by the standard .NET configuration features. Simple configuration is easily handled with appSettings and connectionString sections - encrypt - if needed.

For a custom setting, try this: http://haacked.com/archive/2007/03/12/custom-configuration-sections-in-3-easy-steps.aspx .



And if you need to store your configuration data elsewhere, consider redirecting by implementing your own ProtectedConfigurationProvider:
