Due to my next project (much SOA stuff) I need a component based configuration and stored in a database to enable a central administration. app.config/web.config does not support any of those requirements (I know some hacks with app-domains, though). So does anybody of you know a configuration framework? It does not necessary have to be free of cost.

I know how to google ;-) but I'd appreciate som开发者_Go百科e experiences about a framework you already used.

Thanks in advance! Flo

• Multiple configuration types INI, XML, Registry, and command line
• Strong variable types String, int, float, etc. Eliminates casts
• Set and save Add, remove, edit, and save configs
• Lightweight and fast Small footprint, built for speed
• Merging Merge several configs into one
• 100% free Free and open source code
• Value aliases Add aliases for unclear variables
• Key value replacement Replaces values with other key values
• Cross platform Run on .NET/Mono Linux/Mac/Windows
• INI parser Contains a 100% managed INI parser
• Fully documented See the Nini manual and API reference
• Unlimited files/sources Loads an unlimited number of files
• Compact Framework Supports the .NET Compact Framework

Have a look at it.
