[RESOLVED] How to add code to the app.config file?

[Herry Markowitz]

Hi experts,
As https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...vs.110%29.aspx explains;

If your application relies on consistent behavior regardless of the operating system, you can force the SendKeys class to use the new implementation by adding the following application setting to your app.config file.

<appSettings>
<add key="SendKeys" value="SendInput"/>
</appSettings>

Following picture shows my app.config file.

Question: How to integrate code above into my app.config file?

The config file is XML. You simply copy that XML snippet into the file. The <appSettings> element must be inside the main <configuration> element.

Is it correct?

There's no need to make us visit other web sites when you can simply attach a screen shot to your post or simply paste your code directly.

Other codes located between <system.diagnostics>.
Are you sure this is correct?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  
  <appSettings>
    <add key="SendKeys" value="SendInput"/>
  </appSettings>
  
    <system.diagnostics>
      
        <sources>
            <!-- This section defines the logging configuration for My.Application.Log -->
            <source name="DefaultSource" switchName="DefaultSwitch">
                <listeners>
                    <add name="FileLog"/>
                    <!-- Uncomment the below section to write to the Application Event Log -->
                    <!--<add name="EventLog"/>-->
                </listeners>
            </source>
        </sources>
      
        <switches>
            <add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Information" />
        </switches>
      
        <sharedListeners>
            <add name="FileLog"
                 type="Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener, Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a, processorArchitecture=MSIL" 
                 initializeData="FileLogWriter"/>
            <!-- Uncomment the below section and replace APPLICATION_NAME with the name of your application to write to the Application Event Log -->
            <!--<add name="EventLog" type="System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener" initializeData="APPLICATION_NAME"/> -->
        </sharedListeners>
      
    </system.diagnostics>
  
 
</configuration>

That looks OK to me. VS should tell you if anything is in a place that it shouldn't. You could always do some reading on the subject if you have doubts.

Thank you...

Another issue;
What does following explanation exactly mean ?

It's explained in the two paragraphs directly above that one.
