You can add ANY setting you like in config file and get it in C# code. See Afzaal's code. Just name your setting as appropriate, may be "CacheTimeOut". For details, see following: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/610xe886.aspx

Please be very very specific with your intension! What exactly you are trying to achieve? Default 30 min, but default for what? Session Timeout, Command Timeout, Connection Timeout, what?

Why do you need the config file? You can store that value in the Session variable, or a file, or SQL database as well. Also, please share the purpose of this... So that I can suggest a better way at doing this. However, if you want to use config file, then the following code may help you, var dateTime = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ "dataTimeUtc" ].ToString(); // Parse the dateTime to DateTime This is one of the ways to get the value. There are other options also available, which are better.
