Note

Be very aware that the 

privatePath

attribute cannot be used to specify an absolute (C:\SomeFolder\

SomeSubFolder) or relative (..\\SomeFolder\\AnotherFolder) path! If you wish to specify a directory outside the

client’s application directory, you will need to make use of a completely different XML element named 

(more details on this element later in the chapter).

Multiple subdirectories can be assigned to the privatePath attribute using a semicolon-

delimited list. You have no need to do so at this time, but here is an example that informs the CLR

to consult the MyLibraries and MyLibraries\Tests client subdirectories:
Once you’ve finished creating CSharpCarClient.exe.config, run the client by double-clicking

the executable in Windows Explorer. You should find that CSharpCarClient.exe executes without a

hitch (if this is not the case, double-check your *.config file for typos).

Next, for testing purposes, change the name of your configuration file (in one way or another)

and attempt to run the program once again. The client application should now fail. Remember that

*.config files must be prefixed with the same name as the related client application. By way of a

final test, open your configuration file for editing and capitalize any of the XML elements. Once the

file is saved, your client should fail to run once again (as XML is case sensitive).
