I have several C# console applications, which need to have the same set of settings. I want to avoid duplicity and avoid separate app.config for each application.
Is there any way to read a common app.config file (say common.config) for applications (app1.exe, app2.exe).
Create one file called app.config. Put it in some place outside of your projects' directories, like up in the solution directory. Add it to your projects as a linked item with a relative path to the file. Set the right build action for this item (application configuration) in each project.
Now when each project builds, the file will be copied to the project's output dir with the right name.
