config file

[tobycraftse]

I saw some config file in C# project, are those manually edited XML or
auto generated XML files?

are those standard C# features or just application specific defined
files?

I saw it is used to store GUI name and GUI error messages.

Configuration files are often manually created, but there are also tools.

Take a look at Enterprise Library to see one approach to dealing with this.

it depends on the project: in DataBase projects, Web Service and ASP.Net Projects configuration file are mostly created automatically in XML-Like format

app.config is a .net thing. They are XML files that store your settings for the application.

Let me know if this was what you were looking for.

For the vast majority of projects in those categories I find that the percentage of content (after all comments are stripped out) that is "automaically generated" accounts for 5%-10% of the total information that resides in the production configuration file.....

what is your idea about the OP post: is it Manually or Auto generated?

what is your idea about the OP post: is it Manually or Auto generated?

Depending on the project type, the file itself may be automatically generated, and have some default dontent.

However, the CONTENT of the file is (in most cases) manually created and/or edited.

There for both parts " manually edited XML" and "auto generated XML files" of the original question are true.
