How can I prepare the configuration
settings (App.config, maybe?) I need to use Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block in a C# console project?
Following is what I currently trying with an App.config in the console
project. When I call DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase(), it throws an exception which says:
"Configuration system failed to initialize"
