what is the difference between writing a connection in a class file and web config file

hi this as per my knowledge n u can also have the guidelines forums of mmicrosoft also web.config is used with web applications. web.config will by default have several configurations required for the web application. You can have a web.config for each folder under your web application. app.config is used for windows applications. When you build the application in vs.net it will be automatically renamed to .exe.config and this file has to be delivered along with your application. You can use the same method to call the appsettings values from both config files : System.Configuration.COnfigurationSettings.AppSettings[Key] If you make any changes to the web.config web application will immediately load the changed config. But in case of .exe.config you have to restart the application. What about console applications? They don't seem to have an app.config file when I create such a project in Visual Studio. However I'm working with the Logging Application Block sample apps and the console ones have an app.config file. I don't know if that config file was manually created by whoever made the sample or if it is supposed to be automatically added to the project somehow.
