The <appSettings> element of a web.config file is a place
to store connection strings, server names, file paths, and
other miscellaneous settings needed by an application to
perform work

Answer / sivaram

Well inside the appsettings is where you put all properties
that have to do with the entire web application you are
building. Connection strings can be placed inside the
appsettings to make it easy to connect each page from your
site to a database. Instead of defining a connection string
on each page, you write it once it the web.config and can
reference it from all other pages.
