Answer by Ram for Reading settings from app.config or web.config in .NET

For a sample app.config file like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration><appSettings><add key="countoffiles" value="7" /><add key="logfilelocation" value="abc.txt" /></appSettings></configuration>

You read the above application settings using the code shown below:

using System.Configuration;

You may also need to also add a reference to System.Configuration in your project if there isn't one already. You can then access the values like so:

string configvalue1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["countoffiles"];string configvalue2 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["logfilelocation"];
