What happened to App.Config files in VS 2005 ?

I'm not sure where the proper place for this question is, but I have been using Visual Studio 2005 for a little while now, and I noticed that there are no more app.config files. What happened to them What replaces their functionality Is there any good documentation you can point me to on where this went

Thanks

    To add one to your project right click on the project and choose Add from the menu and then New Item.

    From the new window that pops up look for the 'Application Configuration File' option, select it and hit Add and you'll have a brand new App.config file added to your project.

    Hi, Brendan!

    What about smart device applications In my device application I try Add->New Item, but I don't see 'Application Configuration File' among the templates. Doesn't CF support them

    Thanks,

    Nay, the CF does not natively support config fie however there do exist home grown solutions to do this such as this one on Code Project.
