Hi,

I have two Configuration Files to be used in My Asp.net Project, Also There are few keys in app settings which is directly added inside the app settings tag. If i have 1 File reference with keys in my webconfig it works properly, but if i have more than 1 file reference to appsettings none of the key works and throws error .

XML

<appSettings file="config/first.config,config/second.config">
    <add key="Hi" value="Hellooooo"/>
</appSettings>

I saw an article which could override the Desearialize method of Appsettings, but i am unable to do so .. As the Asp.Net class is Sealed

Reference Article

Is there any way for me to use multiple config file for the app settings?

I saw the below link ,seems quite a deal ,but is there any simpler way ?

Dear Friend,

You can control the two app config files or two web config files working by separately putting them in the respective folders where you want to use the App Key accordingly.

I have also earlier faced this problem and tried this solution. It also might work in your case.

Please let me know if it works and also don't forget to mark this as your answer if it works.

Regards
