Properties

  Name Description
Public Property Static Property AWSProfileName Profile name for stored AWS credentials that will be used to make service calls. Changes to this setting will only take effect in newly-constructed clients.

To reference the account from an application's App.config or Web.config use the AWSProfileName setting. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="AWSProfileName" value="development"/>
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

Public Property Static Property AWSProfilesLocation Location of the credentials file shared with other AWS SDKs. By default, the credentials file is stored in the .aws directory in the current user's home directory. Changes to this setting will only take effect in newly-constructed clients.

To reference the profile from an application's App.config or Web.config use the AWSProfileName setting. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="AWSProfilesLocation" value="c:\config"/>
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

Public Property Static Property AWSRegion Configures the default AWS region for clients which have not explicitly specified a region. Changes to this setting will only take effect for newly constructed instances of AWS clients. This setting can be configured through the App.config. For example: 
<configSections>
  <section name="aws" type="Amazon.AWSSection, AWSSDK"/>
</configSections>
<aws region="us-west-2" />
Public Property Static Property DynamoDBConfig Configuration for the DynamoDB section of AWS configuration. Changes to some settings may not take effect until a new client or context is constructed. Example section: 
<configSections>
  <section name="aws" type="Amazon.AWSSection, AWSSDK"/>
</configSections>
<aws>
  <dynamoDB>
    <dynamoDBContext tableNamePrefix="Prod-">
            
      <tableAliases>
        <alias fromTable="FakeTable" toTable="People" />
        <alias fromTable="Persons" toTable="People" />
      </tableAliases>
            
      <mappings>
        <map type="Sample.Tests.Author, SampleDLL" targetTable="People" />
        <map type="Sample.Tests.Editor, SampleDLL" targetTable="People">
          <property name="FullName" attribute="Name" />
          <property name="EmployeeId" attribute="Id" />
          <property name="ComplexData" converter="Sample.Tests.ComplexDataConverter, SampleDLL" />
          <property name="Version" version="true" />
          <property name="Password" ignore="true" />
        </map>
      </mappings>
            
    </dynamoDBContext>
  </dynamoDB>
</aws>
Public Property Static Property DynamoDBContextTableNamePrefix Configures the default TableNamePrefix that the DynamoDBContext will use if not manually configured. Changes to this setting will only take effect in newly-constructed instances of DynamoDBContextConfig and DynamoDBContext. The setting can be configured through App.config, for example: 
<appSettings>
  <add key="AWS.DynamoDBContext.TableNamePrefix" value="Test-"/>
</appSettings>
Public Property Static Property EC2Config Configuration for the EC2 section of AWS configuration. Changes to some settings may not take effect until a new client is constructed. Example section: 
<configSections>
  <section name="aws" type="Amazon.AWSSection, AWSSDK"/>
</configSections>
<aws>
  <ec2 useSignatureVersion4="true" />
</aws>
Public Property Static Property EC2UseSignatureVersion4 Configures if the EC2 client should use Signature Version 4 signing with requests. By default, this setting is false, though Signature Version 4 may be used by default in some cases or with some regions. When the setting is true, Signature Version 4 will be used for all requests. Changes to this setting will only take effect in newly-constructed clients. The setting can be configured through App.config, for example: 
<appSettings>
  <add key="AWS.EC2.UseSignatureVersion4" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
