Hi

I'm building an Office plugin which uses the Caching Application Block from Microsoft Enterprise Library. The Application Block uses some configration to setup the connection etc.

So far I have found out that it is not possible to use app.config in an Client Application like a Word Add-in. What do I do?

Is there anybody that can help me?

Best Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael.

I would advise you to use ClickOnce to deploy COM add-ins. Now it is possible using Add-in Express.

Michael,

I will take a shot. I had this exact issue - as I will assume you can not create the CacheManager object. To resolve this, you must rename the cacheConfiguration.config to the office application name in the same directory as the Office app (if 2007 or same as your app for pre-2007).

for example. Word.exe - rename the cacheConfiguration.config to Word.Exe.config and place in the Office12 folder under Microsoft Office program folder.

hope this helps - it stumped me as well.

regards,
Dave
