Hi,
I'm looking to do a couple things with an app.config.
1) store test information such as machine names, passwords...etc
2) have a list of methods to execute at run time
Thanks

Hi,

Theoretically you can write what ever you want to the app.config file. You only have to handle it during runtime. Means you have to read the tags of the file. To add an app.config file to Ranorex Studio just add a new file or use an existing app.config file. Also take a look to following link http://geekswithblogs.net/akraus1/articles/64871.aspx . There will be explained "how to read and write" an app.config file.

We use .config files alot in our tests
We have the idea of write test once, run many times with different settings
So we hard-code nothing!
