0	Strange, why to keep two appsettings with same key and same value? What is the benefit of it and what you are achieving it? Regards, Raja, USA Venkatesh, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Hi, Even though you specify multiple appsettings keys with same name in a web.config file the last one will be considered and rest all will be ignored. So in your case if you search by your key name First you will get the value as dotnetfunda as result.

0	Hi venkatesh, I have a question here, if the interview question is like this. Does the same key value pair is available in Parent Web.config and also in Child web.config with different values? Or in the same Web.Config with same key and different value? If its in the same Web.Config i hope it should not work. If its in Parent and Child then it will fetch the value from Child config Thanks Karthik www.f5Debug.net Venkatesh, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
