Usage Note

Remarks

This extension provides a simple way to add default values as well as descriptions for app settings directly into an application. The source for these is a simple in-memory collection, and additional key/value pairs are added so that the initial value and descriptions of these settings can still be retrieved even if the settings themselves get overridden by another configuration source.
