Split user.config into different files for faster saving
- by HorstWalter
In my c# Windows Forms application (.net 3.5 / VS 2008) I have 2 settings files resulting in one user.config file.
One setting file consists of larger data, but is rarely changed. The frequently changed data are very few. However, since the saving of the settings is always writing the whole (XML) file it is always "slow".
SettingsSmall.Default.Save(); // slow, even if SettingsSmall consists of little data
Could I configure the settings somehow to result in two files, resulting in:
SettingsSmall.Default.Save(); // should be fast
SettingsBig.Default.Save(); // could be slow, is seldom saved
I have seen that I can use the SecionInformation class for further customizing, however what would be the easiest approach for me? Is this possible by just changing the app.config (config.sections)?
