Best way to set-up a config file to store parameters in asp net mvc 4

I am starting Asp Net MVC4 project and since I am comming from php development I am curious about what would it be the best way to set-up a configuration file to store parameters like system name, version and others that I might need.

Is there any guideline to do that for instance using a config file or a database query..?

I use web.config extensively for this type of thing.

Example

<appSettings>
    ....
    <add key="SearchUserResultMaxCount" value="100" />
</appSettings>

Code

public static class SearchHelper
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the max records for resultset from db, configurable in web.config
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static int SearchEntityResultMaxCount()
    {
        int count;
        Int32.TryParse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SearchEntityResultMaxCount"], out count);
        return count;
    }
}
