Two of the projects in my solution that both need to use a common user.config file. This is a data application - the executable that is created with the first project is the primary executable that users will be working with 99% of the time, the other is a seperate "maintenance" executable. The connection string is stored via My.Settings (encrypted of course). The problem is that obviously with 2 different .exe there are 2 seperate user.config files, but I need to read the connection string out of a single file. Is this even possible? If not, are there any other suggestions for how to acheive this same type of functionality through other methods?
