This is useful when there are certain values used in a site or application&amp;#39;s code, but we don&amp;#39;t to hardcode them or even store them in web.config. Storing such values in a list means they can be easily updated (possibly by end users if you choose to allow this) without requiring access to the web server&amp;#39;s filesystem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
