Configuration Setting Management: The Personality of Your Applications

ASPAlliance.com : The #1 ASP.NET Community : Configuration Setting Management: The Personality of Your Applications

"The Personality of your application.
by Paul Glavich
The ability to be able to configure your application for a number of different parameters and scenarios is important to almost every single application, whether it be an ASP.NET application or a WinForms application. The Framework's support for managing this information is good, and in this article I present techniques to develop and manage your applications' configuration and allow an easy way for other developers who might be in your development team to utilize the configuration information within the application.
...
Accompanying this article is a windows application that generates a static configuration class for you. Its a simple application that allows you to define namespaces, class names, configuration properties with associated configuration entry keys to access the data as well as comments to describe the class and each configuration entry. C# is the only language supportted; however, full source code is provided, so using an easy abstracted design to add your own support for Visual Basic.NET (or any other language if you desire) should be no problem."

Sounds pretty cool...
