Awesome work, your head is in the right place, bringing sharepoint one step closer to a viable alternative for a web application

Nice Job!!!

@Dave,

You were right unfortunately - think this was a regression bug in the last release. Now fixed in release 2.1.0.1 at http://spconfigstore.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=27194.

Sorry about that! Appreciate you pointing it out :-)

Cheers,

Chris.

Dave,

Thanks for coming back to me - I'll retest this week and post here.

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

I just followed the link on your blog (above); on CodePlex it says:

Update: Release 2.1.0.0 uploaded 20 April 2009 with important fix - see Release 2.1.0.0 page for release notes

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the positive words. In terms of the issue, I've definitely seen it myself but I did make some changes in this area for version 2.0.0.0 and was sure they tested out OK.

Do you know which version you downloaded from Codeplex/if it was 2.0.0.0?

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Chris, I echo the sentiments, great work.

But, (and I'm not sure if this is the exact issue George was reporting, but I've not tried making his modification); I also wanted to report, I seem to be experiencing an issue where, even though the ApplyWebConfigModifications flag is set to True in feature.xml, when the feature is deactivated, the FeatureDeactivating code is not removing your entries from the web.config file. Thus, upon reactivating the feature (e.g. during development when the feature is repeatedly activated and deactivated), the entries keep getting written to the web.config file over and over again. Just FYI. In any case, very useful tool and thanks for making it. -Dave Barrows

Hi George,

Many thanks for this, it's much appreciated. However, I was pretty sure I fixed the web.config key removal in the most recent version uploaded to Codeplex. Did you find the issue in the 2.0.0.0 version or 1.0.0.0?

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi Chris,
Nice work. Sure many people will find the config store useful. Here a couple things I had difficulty with.

There are a couple typos in the readme. Several of the appsetting keys aren't quite right.

With'ApplyWebConfigModifications' Feature property set to 'True', I had to change a couple lines in the featureReceiver so that entries would remove themselves:

configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@name='{0}']", sModificationName);

Changed to...

configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@key='{0}'][@value='{1}']", sKey, sValue);

And
configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@name='{0}']", sModificationName);

Changed to...

configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@expressionPrefix='{0}'][@type='{1}']", sPrefix, sType);

Excuse me if I'm wrong - I'm new to this. But it appears to have fixed my problem.

Nic,

Interesting idea :-)

Hi!

Great idea, I had the same concerns about using the web.config. I think that your solution is brilliant as it can be used by many sites/applications. I have a suggestion for additional functionality. Having the ability to "schedule" the setting changes would be fantastic. For example, beeing able to apply a configuration change so it becomes effective at midnight on a certain day would be very helpfull in certain cases.

Great work!

Hi Jagannath,

Interesting thought, and something which has been suggested to me in the past. However, in my view one of the main points of the Config Store is that it IS a SharePoint list! Trying not to think about it as a developer for a moment, this has important advantages. Wherever I've implemented it, the amount of memory across the servers used to cache the list items hasn't been an issue.

Valid discussion though.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

What if Sharepoint is installed as a server farm. Since the configuration is stored in memory the list values have to be entered on each server.In this case will SPPersistedObject be a better choice.

Jagannath
