One way to handle it is to use configuration file fragments and point
to them in your web config file. Your fragment would look like this,
without the namespace:
<connectionStrings>
<clear />
<add name="NorthwindSQL"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial
Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=true;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Your Web config would have this line, which uses the fragment:
<connectionStrings configSource="connections.config"/>
One significant advantage of using config file fragments for ASP.NET
apps is that config file fragments can be edited at runtime without
causing an application restart.

You can modify that example for different configuration sections.

Iam using a couple of external (other than web.config) configuration files for my project , and i
want their behavior to be like that of web.config file ( the application should track changes and
reload if required),
is this possible in the new ASP.Net 2.0 ?
thanks
