Save value in configuration file

[Alan T]

I want to store some values so that the application can read from a file,
eg. ini file, configuration file.
If I add a Application Configuration File, to store the name of files:

key = "sales"
value = "sales.ini"

key = "account"
value = "account.ini"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>

</configuration>

So if my application is processing sales transactions, I read the key
"sales" to fetch the name of the ini file "sales.ini".

What should I put inside the
<configuration> and
</configuration>
?

The following works for me for asp.net 2.0:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="keyName" value="thevalue"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Hope it helps.
