Adding Reference in config file

Question

Is there any way to keep the particular section of config file in another file and reference it?

 <configuration> 
    <appSettings>
        <add key="LogConfigXMLPath" value="D:\IIS_CODE\virtualworkspace\LogConfig.xml"/>
        <add key="ErrorLoggerName" value="ErrorLogger"/>
        <add key="CouchDBHost" value="ctsintbmvstcdb"/>
        <add key="CouchDBPort" value="5984"/>
        <add key="CouchDBBaseDatabase" value="virtualworkplace"/>
    </appSettings>
    </configuration>

Whether is there any possible way to reference this kind of code?

If you're asking if you can reference the appSettings section from an external file then yes you can.

External.config file:

<appSettings>
    <add key="LogConfigXMLPath" value="D:\IIS_CODE\virtualworkspace\LogConfig.xml"/>
    <add key="ErrorLoggerName" value="ErrorLogger"/>
    <add key="CouchDBHost" value="ctsintbmvstcdb"/>
    <add key="CouchDBPort" value="5984"/>
    <add key="CouchDBBaseDatabase" value="virtualworkplace"/>
</appSettings>

Then, in your your app.config or web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <appSettings file="C:\PathToYourExternalConfigFile\External.config">
        <add key="SomeAdditionalKey" value="Value1" />
    </appSettings>
</configuration>
