In asp.net web.config file you can do
<appSettings file="local.appSettings.config">
<add key="foo" value="bar" />
</appSettings>
and it will look in the local.appSettings.config file for any overrides to the foo / bar setting.
Is there an equivalent for applicationSettings? Something like that
<applicationSettings file="local.applicationSettings.config">
<FooBar.My.MySettings>
<setting name="foo" serializeAs="String">
<value>bar</value>
</setting>
</FooBar.My.MySettings>
</applicationSettings>
or even a different approach to maintaining a different set of Settings applications, such as a local development kit and a production kit
