Today I just learned how to share same configuration file between multiple projects, There are two projects and I need to use same configuration file in both projects. Below code will do the same.

ExeConfigurationFileMap efm = new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = "AppConfig/app.config" };
Configuration configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(efm, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
if (configuration.HasFile)
{
AppSettingsSection appSettings = configuration.AppSettings;
KeyValueConfigurationElement  element = appSettings.Settings["myconfig"];
Console.WriteLine(element.Value);
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
