I just realized that I added the wrong description. The description was meant to be:
"In the previous parts of this series I talked about the problems with literal strings in source code and presented different strategies to avoid those problems. In this episode I'll explain how we can leverage the power of the Castle DictionaryAdapter to improve the way our applications access their app settings"

Sorry for my sloppiness ;)

Also you can use a settings file. Right click on your project and go to add new item "Settings File". You get strongly typed settings. And a handy dandy gui interface too.
