Common data service app.config

Hi,

I am working on CDS, when I used the Console type applicaton sample code from Microsoft website, it works all well.

But when I changed to our project which is a class library, I cannot do CreateClient() any more, it keeps checking the app.config, and telling me that section "Microsoft.CommonDataService.Connection" is missing; I don't have control to the app.config, because it is a class library project.

Has anyone run into this situation before? Any ideas/thoughts will be very much appreciated, thank you!!

Jason

Hi @jasonssis,

Where do you call the class library from?
If the calling application has an app.config, you can put your configuration there.

Hi Jeroen

Good morning, thank you for replying to my question.

I am writing a C# class library for other people to use, so I don't have any control on the configuration at all.

In a Console type application, both of following work all well:

1.
var client = ConnectionSettings.Instance.CreateClient().Result;

2.
var vs = new ConnectionSettings();
UserCredentialsSettings users = new UserCredentialsSettings();
users.ApplicationId = "xxxx";
vs.EnvironmentId = "xxxx";
vs.Tenant = "xxxx";
vs.Credentials = users;
var client2 = vs.CreateClient().Result;

I have also tried, if I changed anything in app.config file that is related to CDS, CreateClient() will not work any more; it will display configuration exception, even if I have programmatically set up everything correctly in my code.

I am wondering, if there is anyway that we can tell CDS SDK not check this app.config when creating client.

Thanks for any suggestions or comments,

Jason
