Are you asking how to add those file names to the app.config?

if so... 

<appSettings>
    <add key="image1" value="~/images/logo.jpg"/>
</appSettings>

This can be read by adding a reference to System.Configurations

And then calling ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["image1"];

You can access any value in the app.config using the Configuration manager.

Use System.IO.Path.Combine method to combine a base path with a relative path like:

 System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, relativePath);

Environment.CurrentDirectory in the above line with whatever base path you want.
