The configuration is put into a XML file like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="errormail.verzenden" value="1"/>
    <add key="errormail.address.from" value="[e-mail]"/>
    <add key="errormail.address.to" value="[e-mail]"/>
    <add key="errormail.address.cc" value=""/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration

You can retrieve these settings with

string keyValue = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[KeyName];

or in VB.NET

Dim keyValue as string = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(KeyName)

You also have to add an reference to System.configuration to your project. (project references)
