Adam, I was trying the same thing and someone suggested me to go for a more generic way. I am using System.Configuration.configurationSettings.AppSettings.Item(). In this case we don't need to specify the config file. But I am not sure this is the write way or not(If we have different config files in different folders). In such cases I don't know how it works...
Mike, The class which I was writing was almost similar to the one which you mentioned as "[1] http://staff.develop.com/woodring/dotnet/#ConfigFileReader";. But I have a question for that class, how can I use that class for an ASP.NET application's Web.config file? what is the path i need to give? or can I give just "Web.config" as the argument. I may be wrong, in that case please correct me...

The executing application will be able to find its config file automatically with System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig (or .AppSettings) and it'll get the appropriate config file.

I created a new component and its having method to which I have to pass the name of the config file. For non-ASP.NET applications, I know I can pass the name of the config file(which is nothing but the "name of the assembly.config"). For ASP.NET application, if I pass web.config as the name of the config file, it fails to get that file because it could not get web.config from the path and I am getting FileNotFoundException saying that "\winnt\system32\web.config" doesn't exist. Why is it cheking over there? So if need to use web.config, what should be the path I need to give for web.config You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
