Where to put the dependency injection framework config file?

Question

I've got a solution with several different projects in it, some are pure class libraries and some are web app projects. If I want my default types to be available to all projects, where should I put the config file for the container?

Answer 1

What I tend to do is to create it in the solution root directory. Then, for each project that needs it, I do :

• right click->Add Existing
• Browse to, and select file
• Click on down arrow and select "Add as link"
• Select the file in the project
• Properties
• Build Action -> Content
• Copy To Output Directory -> Copy if newer

Then, when you initialise your Dependency Inject framework, you can use something like Server.MapPath("~/bin/filename.config").
