Config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting .

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

[C#]
public string Config(string configurationString);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (ConfigAsync) for use in the WinRT environment.
