App.Config file in console application C#

You can add a reference to System.Configuration in your project and then:

using System.Configuration;

then

string sValue = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BatchFile"];

with an app.config file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
   <appSettings>
       <add key="BatchFile" value="blah.bat" />
   </appSettings>
</configuration>

For .NET Core, add System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from NuGet manager.
And read appSetting from App.config

<appSettings>
  <add key="appSetting1" value="1000" />
</appSettings>

Add System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from NuGet Manager

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("appSetting1")

use this

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("Keyname")
