The AppSettings node requires a specific format.
Instead you can use the config section.

Define the config section at the beginning of config file as :

XML

<configSections>
    <section name="SecurityNode" type="<namespace of the dll that is going to read this", <dll name>"/>
  </configSections>

Then use the ConfigurationManager.GetSection("SecutiryNode") statement to read the whole node and process it as normat xml.

Hope this helps

You can use following code to get your entire "SecurityNode" section:

ConfigurationManager.GetSection("SecutiryNode")

I suggest that if your clients speak English, you should use a dictionary so that your XML is spelled correctly.

The way to read XML is to use the XmlDocument class, and XPath to search for the nodes that have the values you need. This will work regardless of if you are searching child nodes, or attributes.

The app.config file requires a very specific format, and DotNet provides a built-in reader for that file. If you have another file you want to read, you will probably need to write code to do so (or you may find a generic XML-reader class somewhere on the net). My advice is to use Linq-to-Xml because it's a lot easier tan using the DotNet 2.0 XmlDocument/XPath stuff.
