well you can also use mappedConfiguration

like this

 //Load Source
   
   ExeConfigurationFileMap map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
   map.ExeConfigFilename = "source.config";
   Configuration source = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map,ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

   //Load Target
   

   map.ExeConfigFilename = "target.config";
   Configuration target = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map,
   ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

the

target.AppSettings.Settings and source.AppSettings.Settings hold the AppSettings KeyValueCollection

Hi

You can read above file using XML.If not custom config you can read using ConfigurationManager class.

i assume this a custom XML file.

using System;
using System.Xml;

namespace ReadXMLfromFile
{
    /// 
    /// Summary description for Class1.
    /// 

    class Class1
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader ("config.xml");
            while (reader.Read()) 
            {
                switch (reader.NodeType) 
                {
                    case XmlNodeType.Element: // The node is an element.
                        Console.Write("<" + reader.Name);
                        Console.WriteLine(">");
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.Text: //Display the text in each element.
                        Console.WriteLine (reader.Value);
                        break;
                    case XmlNodeType.EndElement: //Display the end of the element.
                        Console.Write("                        Console.WriteLine(">");
                        break;
                }
            }
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Thank you
