Loading Engine Settings From Configuration Files

The EngineSettings values can be loaded from a configuration file using the LoadFromConfigurationFile(string) method. This method reads the FixEngine configuration section from the .NET application configuration file (YourApplicationName.dll.config) or the XML or JSON file specified by the configFileName parameter.

For example:

var settings = new EngineSettings();

settings.LoadFromConfigurationFile();

Engine.Init(settings);

Property Names

Property names are described in the EngineSettings.Key class.
