Adding and reading from a Config file

Add an Application Configuration File item to your project (Right -Click Project > Add item). This will create a file called app.config in your project.

Edit the file by adding entries like <add key="keyname" value="someValue" /> within the <appSettings> tag.

Add a reference to the System.Configuration dll, and reference the items in the config using code like ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["keyname"].
