Mike,
As far as I can follow the source code, you need to reinitialize the
ConfigurationSourceFactory, but it seems to be initialized when the app
loads the config file at startup, so I hit a brick wall there too.
This is what I tried.
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.ConfigurationSourceFactory.Create
();
Database db = DatabaseFactory.Create("foobar");
Didn't seem to work though :P
If it's just in the setup application could you not load the app.config file
and processes it with XmlDocument to change the config section then launch a
new instance of the application and kill the current instance?
Dave.
