1. Add an Application Configuration File item to your project (Right -Click Project > Add item). This will create a file called app.config in your project.

2. Edit the file by adding entries like within the tag.

3. Add a reference to the System.Configuration dll, and reference the items in the config using code like ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["keyname"].
