Difference between web.config and app.config?..

Answer / reva ram sahu

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 <appname>.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"]
