Custom environment instance settings   

Tags: General
Technorati Tags:

From reading into the documentation for Enterprise Library v1.0 I can't see anyway of having custom settings like you would do for different enironment instances in one config file e.g.

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DebugFlagDev"]
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DebugFlagLive"]

I'd like to be able to just grab "DebugFlag" and it know what instance I am on and control the settings from within the Config Tool. Surely this would just be an extension of the Data Access Application Block.

I've been trying to read around to find anyone who's already done this but haven't found anything as yet.

[UPDATE]

I just found this post on Francesco Rizzi's site which allows you to create an Xml Include Type and add this as a settings block in the Config Tool.
Also found David Hayden's write up on this as well and found his article a bit easier to comprehend.

I've actually taken it one step further and added ConfigurationSettings for each machine configuration e.g. for when I work locally, when I deploy to Staging and LIVE etc. When I call the GetConfiguration the section name I use is the System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MachineName.
