Hi Mustaq,
I believe you want to share a set of settings among different applications.
One way would be to make use of the <appSettings> element file attribute so
that it would refer to a common file.
Check out the same here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ngsElement.asp

Hi Rakesh,
Thanks for your support, What I need is how can I force my VB.NET exes to
read from one config file
Senario, I have 4 Applications
EXE
1. AA.exe
2. BB.exe
3. CC.exe
4. DD.exe
Its Config files are as follows
1. AA.exe.config
2. BB.exe.config
3. CC.exe.config
4. DD.exe.config
all exes are in same directory, so now I need only AA.exe.config to run
other exex as well. Inside parameters are same.
How can I force applications to read read only AA.exe.config file.

Hi Mustaq,
There are no built-in methods I know of to accomplish this. Together with:
1. AA.exe.config
2. BB.exe.config
3. CC.exe.config
4. DD.exe.config
, you will need a "common.con fig" (or any other name) where you would store
your common settings. In other words, the Bin folder will have 5 config files
:(
One way would be to read the settings xml file directly. For an example,
check out this sample: http://www.windowsforms.net/Applicat...=40&tabindex=9

Since it is possible to put application settings in a file other than
web.config, I was wondering what is the best practice in doing so vs.
putting these settings directly in web.config. My point is that when I
deploy an application, I want to overwrite web.config all the time, because
the contents of this file has a direct impact on the application's overall
behavior. For example, the execution timeout for my app is 60 seconds,...
