How to best manage shared app config contents among projects

I have one back-end DLL project, which is layer on top of database. I have several fron-end projects, with either app.config or web.config. All front-end projects share some configuration sections.

Manually keeping the shared config sections in sync before testing and release looks stupid. What is good practice to get the config shared?

You can put your common section in a separate file:

<connectionStrings configSource="ConnectionStrings.config"/>

and ConnectionStrings.config file will contain:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyDB" connectionString="Data Source=address;Initial Catalog=DataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;"/>
  </connectionStrings>

Then, in order to share the settings between multiple projects you can follow the advice you find here
