Accessing C# user settings from a C++ Application
I am writing a C# program in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 that stores some information inside of the local user settings like so:
Properties.Settings.Default.userActive.Add(connection.Active);
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
I also have a Visual C++ application that would like to read these stored user settings. Is it possible for my Visual C++ application to read the C# application's user settings?
Similarly, how 开发者_高级运维would I go about accessing the local user settings directory in C++?
It seems like there is no Microsoft sanctioned way to do what I am attempting to do. In case anyone else comes across this I will briefly explain what I've decided to do. Here was a helpful guide. I am ultimately just populating an xml file from the C# and placing it within the users AppData folder located at:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
I am then using my C++ to locate it using:
TCHAR myCharArray[MAX_PATH];
SHGetFolderPath(NULL,CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA,(HANDLE)-1,SHGFP_TYPE_DEFAULT, myCharArray);
I then parse the XML file using C++ and read in the settings. This was a much more manual process than I would have liked, and leaves room for a lot of error unfortunately. Anyways, thanks everyone and good luck!
You can make the c# class COM callable through .NET COM Interoperability and COM callable wrappers.
