.Net 2.0 - Config files

[Rob Meade]

Hi all,

Can someone advise me please...

I have an existing web.config file but I would like to use an additional
config file for very specific things for my app, I would if possible like to
keep a similar structure, ie, <appSettings></appSettingswith all of my
items added in between, would have been nice to have specified some
categories in there too, such as security etc, but I can live with comments
for now.

So, if I add a second file, presumably the
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("someKey") is still thinking it'll be in
the web.config file and error when it doesn't find it? So how would I also
read in values from another file and ideally use the intellisense (although
not massively important)...but it is quite tidy in my code...

Any help would be appreciated..

Regards

Rob

Take a look at Peter's good KB on it.
