In web sites 'App.confg' files can Reference and read an External config file. This is useful in many situations when one project is referencing another project. This is also help to manage the solution by avoiding the duplicate configuration setting values and connection string.

Add an App.config the the project. Open the App.config file and edit the 'appSettings' element under configuration.


Now add your External.config to D:\projects directory

External.config
