Application Configuration

Configuration files are mainly used to inital setup of applications. To automate application configuration on startup follow a few steps:

1. Add 'your-assembly-name.laconf' configuration file in the project root. Be sure that the file added with BuildAction: None, Copy to Output Directory: Copy always options.

2. Add NFX.ApplicationModel.ServiceBaseApplication wrapper in program entry point:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  using (var application = new ServiceBaseApplication(args, null))
  {
    // application bootstrapping and launch code
  }
}

This pattern unifies the development of many application kinds: console, services, web, WinForms etc.
