Modifying revit config

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Am creating a plugin in c# that is going to be a floating window, I want the window to communicate with a service.  Todo this I need to put some endpoints into the config but I don't want to do this by hand and I was just wondering if you guys have come across needing to include some custom settings in the config and how you got around it.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I think you can use the methods and classes in .NET framework to access the standard Revit.exe.config file.

Here is links about accessing XML file.

Sorry no handy code shows the process.

I was having the same issue. I wanted to set the ConnectionString property in the Revit.exe.config file programmatically, to be able to us Entity Framework.

I end up using the NET Framework ConfigurationManager Class.
