Hi

I am working on C# application, where in I may require just one
app.config for the C#.NET solution with multiple windows application
projects. I know one web.config can be used for multiple projects, can
I use app.config is the same way??

thanx in advance.

Not out of the box, completely anyway.....

You can

a) put most of your common settings into a "common.config" file, and
reference that from all your project .config files, by means of:

<appSettings file="common.config">
......
</appSettings>

or

b) You can use a third-party or custom-made config class, which allows
you to specify what .config file to load. Search e.g.
www.codeproject.com for samples - there are quite a few out there!
