Thanks, Tejal. Hi,

For applications I use the app.config since it is provided, however for DLL's I have always justed used a simple XML File, and C# makes serializing to/from XML very easy. Basically I just take a simple class with only public Properties and this is what becomes the XML file. I then use a static util class that loads it up in its static constructor. Then you can just make the object available at anytime with the settings needed. For a DLL I can see why it would care about User/Global settings, or why it should be so convoluted to store external data points for a DLL that change how it works.
