If PrjA is the "hosting" application (I assume it's an EXE?), PrjB (which I
assume is a DLL) will use PrjA's config file. DLLs don't have their own
configuration files - they use the config file of whatever process is
hosting them which is typically an EXE or an service like IIS.
Try renaming the PrjB config file to PrjA.exe.config where PrjA is the real
name of your application.
