well you can also use mappedConfiguration like this //Load Source ExeConfigurationFileMap map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap(); map.ExeConfigFilename = source.config; Configuration source = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(mapConfigurationUserLevel.None); //Load Target map.ExeConfigFilename = target.config; Configuration target = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map ConfigurationUserLevel.None); the target.AppSettings.Settings and source.AppSettings.Settings hold the AppSettings KeyValueCollection

Hi You can read above file using XML.If not custom config you can read using ConfigurationManager class. i assume this a custom XML file. using System; using System.Xml; namespace ReadXMLfromFile { /// /// Summary description for Class1. /// class Class1 { static void Main(string[] args) { XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader (config.xml); while (reader.Read()) { switch (reader.NodeType) { case XmlNodeType.Element: // The node is an element. Console.Write( Console.WriteLine(>); break; case XmlNodeType.Text: //Display the text in each element. Console.WriteLine (reader.Value); break; case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Display the end of the element. Console.Write( Console.WriteLine(>); break; } } Console.ReadLine(); } } } Thank you
