c# - app.config configSections custom settings can not find schema information

Question

I am just learning about app.config in respect of creating custom sections. I have that part working, it compiles and gets the information out as required but I get warnings about it could not find the schema information.

I have done a bit of googling and could not find a simple explanation of this situation.

The approach (that seems to make sense to me at the moment) would be to have a schema file for each section within that project. I understand how to create a schema file, but do not know how I would like this into the project.

Also when it is compiled and deployed to another machine I presume that schema file would need to be copied across as well.

Thanks for any and all help

Try linking the app.config file to the corresponding schema (ussually you can find it on C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8xmlSchemasDotNetConfig.xsd) ,to do so just open the app.config file in visual studio, open the properties window (F4) and put the path above to schemas. Pablo.
