Configuring Your AWS SDK for .NET Application
You can configure your AWS SDK for .NET application to specify AWS credentials, logging options, end-
points, or Signature Version 4 support with Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.
One way to configure an application is to edit the appSettings element in the project's App.config
or Web.config file.The following example specifies the AWSRegion (p. 14) and AWSLogging (p. 13)
parameters.
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="AWSRegion" value="us-west-1"/>
<add key="AWSLogging" value="log4net"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
These settings take affect only after the application has been rebuilt.
