access app config from different project in an application

Question

I have tested to retrieve "configsection" data from app config using c# and it works fine. However, I am facing problem to access these configuration from a different project code. My application is build up of several projects as a bundle. if the app config is in the main project and i want to access that/want to write that from code of another project, how to do that please? I have tried and it throwings errors like as follows:

An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for XXXXX: Could not load type 'XXXXX.XXXXXXX' from assembly 'System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. (F:\\XXXX\\XXXXX.XXXXX\\bin\\Release\\XXXX.XXXXX.XXXX.exe.Config line 4)

Answer 1

Try to create a class in your main project from which you will get all the items from app config.

From other projects, call this method and get the desired property.

Answer 2

Not sure if you would be able to access it directly.

One way would be to pass the required values as parameters to the instances created from a different project.

I would also like to know if it would be possible to access it directly.
