Accepting any solutions or different approaches

Answer 1

If all of you services are running on the same machine you can define what you need in the machine config file. If they are on different machine you could use a wcf service for common values.

Answer 2

If you are building a non-web app, the code in the previous sample:

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["servTransfer"])

will read from your .exe.config file just like it reads from the web.config file.
