Properties file in ASP.NET (similar to jsp/java properties file)

Hello,

I am relatively new to ASP.NET. I am just wondering if there is way to read values from properties file (similar to rading a properties file from JSP or java). 

For example if a property file has something similar to this:


username_list = john, mary, walt total_number_allowed=2 is_valid=false book_list=test book, main book, other book

I would like to read all the values for username_list (comma seperated) and also the value of is_valid.

Thank you in advance.
