Hello Peter,

A feedback system whereby the DLL passes the settings back to the main
app for storage and retreval.

Can you please give me some code snippet that can address the scenario I
put forward in my response to your message the other day?

If the caller app is not aware of/not interested in how the
implementations work, how can the caller app handle the "feedback"?

DLLs should not, ever, have config files.

Can you shed some light on this? Or point us to some books or articles
that support your view?

If I understand you correctly, you mean something like this:

public interface IAppInterface
{
...
public void LoadPluginSettings(string PluginName, out string [] Settings);
public void SavePluginSettings(string PluginName, string [] Settings);
}

IAppInterface is of course accessible from the plugin(s). I realize that
this might not be exactly what you mean, but maybe close?

This has been around for a few years before .NET. The application is
supposed to pass a "PropertyBag" to each component it instantiates which the
component can customize for its needs, cache user settings, etc.
