Project1 is the MainProject, so I want to do all work on Project1's app.config. I have a collection in Project1 config which I want to access from Project2.
Please let me know how to do this.

does each project not have its own app.config file? – AGrammerPro Aug 24 '17 at 19:53

This is not advisable because you will have the other project rely on Project 1's configuration.
If you do want to do it you can do something like this:
//Reference Project 1 in Project 2 then create a public class
// create a public property that stores configuration you want.
// read the configuration with the ConfigurationManager
Public Class Datalayer
Public connetionString =
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("connection").ConnectionString
Now you can access that property in the referenced project. Again this is not ideal and i didn't test it.
