title: Shared configuration between an .exe and a .dll
body: <p>I'm trying to work with a settings.settings file in my project.  There are values that need to be shared between the .exe file and various DLLs.  I'd rather not just pass these values around, I'd like to access them when I need them but each project sets up its values with slightly different names and therefore aren't reachable by the other projects.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to share the contents of the app.config file between an .exe and a .dll using the settings.settings approach?  Or do I need to go back to using ConfigurationManager in order to do this?</p>
