Question

I’m not getting as how to write a message in app.config which consists of two or more lines.
My usual code in config file is :

add key="msg_test" value="This is test message."       

And I read it in c sharp code like :

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[msg_test];

And I want to write something like

add key="msg_test" 
    value="This is test message \n are you sure you want to continue?"

You can just use line breaks in the value:

add key="msg_test" value="This is
test message."

You can also use XML encoded characters:

add key="msg_test" value="This is
test message."

(I have tested both, and they work.)
