The .NET Framework Configuration utility

To generate a client *.config file using this utility, your first step is to add the application to

configure by right-clicking the Applications node and selecting Add. In the resulting dialog box,

click the Other button and navigate to the location of the client program you wish to configure. For

this example, select the VbNetCarClient.exe application created earlier in this chapter (look under

the bin\Debug folder of that project). Once you have done so, you will now find a new subnode, as

shown in Figure 15-15.

If you right-click the VbNetCarClient node and activate the Properties page, you will notice a

text field located at the bottom of the dialog box where you can enter the values to be assigned to

the privatePath attribute. Just for testing purposes, enter a subdirectory named TestDir (see

Figure 15-16).

Once you click the OK button, you can examine the VbNetCarClient\bin\Debug directory and

find that the *.config file has been updated with the correct 
 element.
