Can we use the same App.config file for multiple projects each having a
different .exe name?

Thanks

You can - to a certain extent.

You could put your common appSettings into a separate file:

common.config

<appSettings>
<add key="name" value="the value">
....... (etc,) ................
</appSettings>

and then reference that from all your multiple project's own .config
files:

project1.exe.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings file="common.config">
<add key="name2" value="the value2">
</appSettings>
</configuration>

That could allow you to share some of the configuration info between
several projects.

I have almost stop using the app.config file.

I know use another generic configuration settings file that also supports
encryption. See it at
