where to put default.conf #29

I am not sure where exactly to put my default.conf file? I have put it in the root directory but when I debug there are 0 keys on my Config.Default instance?

The default.conf is meant to carry sane default values that are provided by the developer - thus you have to embed it as a resource in VS so that it gets loaded (and your users can't edit it). Use a settings.conf for your users to overwrite values from the default.conf. The settings.conf should be in the project root, web root, or next to the executable/assembly.
