need for exe.config file?

Totally new to Basic4ppc - and 67 years old as well - so this may be a simple question that is handled in Help - so apologies in advance.

Successfully wrote a program using the GPS and the OUTLOOK libraries and didn't have to add an .exe.config file - never even knew such a file existed!!!

Went to add an SQLlite database and got error messages that have been covered by previous posts - I needed to add an .exe.config file to the application folder.

Is this only necessary for programs that use SQL libraries?

The exe.config file is no longer required.
That unless you use the nonoptimized compiled and you need to target .Net CF 2.0.

The SQL library requires that you copy another dll file named: System.Data.SQLite.dll
You can find the device and desktop files under:
C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4ppc Desktop\Library\SQLNative

This post may help explain. http://www.b4x.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9704&postcount=4 Sorry if it is a bit convoluted, it needs careful reading! exe.config files only apply to legacy compiled apps, not optimised compiled apps which always need .NET 2.0 to run.
