How can I have a config file for Silverlight OOB?

I have a Silverlight application with some appSettings in my Web.Config file. Now I want to make it OOB, what is the best way to handle this.

Should I download config file using WebClient when running in OOB.

Please suggest if you have any good method?

Solution

  • Any "app settings" in a Web.Config are only used by the web/server part of your Silverlight application. Not by the client application (unless you pass them on to the client).

    It should not make any difference if your Silverlight App is running OOB... It is still just a client app, requiring information from your web server (if you wish to pass them on).

    Basically, you should not need to change anything, unless you are doing something wrong in the first place. Can you explain what sort of settings you are needing in your client application?
