I am having problem reading the app.config file. I have 2 vb.net executables
one calling the other using process.start method. It seems like when the
calling form is run it reads the configuration file correctly and i get the
values from appsettings. But when i call the second executable from the first
the second executable doesn't read the app.config file. Reading any values
from appsettings give me an empty sting. But when i start the second
application on its own, i get the values from the configuartion settings. It
used to work fine, i have a old copy of it installed on a test machine and it
seems to be working fine. Can anybody help me with some suggestion
Cheers

Try setting the Working Directory property of the ProcessStartInfo
before starting the second exe.

I will try that..but what is baffling me is that..it was all working fine
the way it is now.. i haven't made any change which should affect this. I
repaired the VS.NET ..but stil the problem exists..
