I am creating some features in SharePoint 2010. I need to have some settings for all the features that I intend to keep in a xml file that should get deployed to 14 hive. On feature activation, settings should be read from the xml file. How can I have a common xml file for all my features and how to read it back from 14 hive.

You can use properties element in the feature schema. It allows you to store config information in the form of key value pair. Here is a article that describes it usage. Also you can always use resource file (see here), but I guess properties element of feature schema would be better way to do it. |

Sharepoint includes a hierarchical configuration manager that can safely store and retrieve configuration settings. You can use sharepoint property bags to store/retrieve config settings. SharePoint 2010 does not provide a user interface to read and write these configuration settings at run time. To do this, you can use the property bag editor on CodePlex: codeplex |
