Type	Description
AppConfiguration	This class provides a base class for code-first, strongly typed configuration settings in .NET. It supports storing of configuration data in .NET .config files, plain XML files, strings and SQL Server databases and custom providers. Using this class is easy: Create a subclass of AppConfiguration and then simply add properties to the class. Then instantiate the class, call Initialize(), then simply access the class properties to read
ConfigurationProviderBase	Base Configuration Provider Implementation. This implementation provides for the basic layout of a provider and fields that implement the IConfigurationProvider interface. The Read and Write methods must be overridden - all other methods and fields are optional
JsonFileConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings in .NET config files and sections. Allows reading and writing to default or external files and specification of the configuration section that settings are applied to.
StringConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings from strings - which you manage yourself. Using strings for the configuration provider allows for easy storage into any non-supported configuration stores that you control through your code as long as it supports strings. The string provider is a real minimal implementation that only implements WriteAsString(config) and Read(string). It inherits all of its functionality from the base provider.
XmlFileConfigurationProvider	Reads and Writes configuration settings in .NET config files and sections. Allows reading and writing to default or external files and specification of the configuration section that settings are applied to.
IConfigurationProvider	Configuration Provider interface that provides read and write services to various configuration storage mechanisms. Used in conjunction with the
