About

INI configuration provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. This package enables you to read configuration parameters from INI files. You can use IniConfigurationExtensions.AddIniFile extension method on IConfigurationBuilder to add INI configuration provider to the configuration builder.

How to Use

using System;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Build a configuration object from INI file
        IConfiguration config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .AddIniFile("appsettings.ini")
            .Build();

        // Get a configuration section
        IConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection("Settings");

        // Read configuration values
        Console.WriteLine($"Server: {section["Server"]}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Database: {section["Database"]}");
    }
}

To run this example, include an appsettings.ini file with the following content in your project:

[Settings]
Server=example.com
Database=Northwind

You can include a configuration file using a code like this in your .csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
  <Content Include="appsettings.ini">
    <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
  </Content>
</ItemGroup>
