title: Data Access Application Block Configaration settings
body: <p>I am using DAAB 5.0 in my WCF application, I need to add the following code in my Web.Config for DAAB to work</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;configSections&gt;
      &lt;section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" /&gt;
  &lt;/configSections&gt;
  &lt;dataConfiguration defaultDatabase="defaultConnString" /&gt;
  &lt;connectionStrings&gt;
      &lt;add name="defaultConnString" connectionString="..."
          providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt;
  &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>
  However in higher environament Web.Config is quto generated, So I am manually pasting the config section in the Web.Config</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Is there any alternative to have config section in a differrent file?</p>
  </blockquote>
