Say I have 2 projects, where project A references project B. Project A is a web application project and project B is a class library.
The class library has an app.confi
App.config is configuration, not application - so it's not saved into dll and it can't be displayed by reflector or decompiled.
You have to configure Project B with settings for Project A (in web.config as it is web app).
There is no mechanism to automagicaly configure external modules, unless they have coded default fall-back values.
