How to make use of RIA Services App.config files (without copying settings to web.config)

Question

Even though I link my web-app with my RIA Services.web library, the App.config setting files are never used and I always need to copy the module settings manually to my web.config.

Am I doing something wrong? Should the App.config file be recognised and automatically loaded?

Answer 1

You're not doing anything wrong. Configuration settings in app.config files that are part of loaded assemblies will not be loaded by your web application.
