Does "default retry policy" mean what I define in web.config?

Question

Warning: Do not use the information listed in the comments below. Most of it is wrong and/or out of date!
Hi all;
The docs for
ReliableSqlConnection(connectionString) state:
Initializes a new instance of the ReliableSqlConnection class with a given connection string. Uses the
default retry policy for connections and commands unless retry settings are provided in the connection string.
Question 1:
If I have the following in my web.config, does this set the default retry policy? Or is the default set in the libabry and I have to explicitly pass this defined policy?
<RetryPolicyConfiguration defaultRetryStrategy="Fixed Interval Retry Strategy"
defaultSqlConnectionRetryStrategy="Backoff Retry Strategy"
defaultSqlCommandRetryStrategy="Incremental Retry Strategy"
defaultAzureStorageRetryStrategy="Fixed Interval Retry Strategy"
defaultAzureServiceBusRetryStrategy="Fixed Interval Retry Strategy">
<incremental name="Incremental Retry Strategy" retryIncrement="00:00:01"
retryInterval="00:00:01" maxRetryCount="10" />
<fixedInterval name="Fixed Interval Retry Strategy" retryInterval="00:00:01"
maxRetryCount="10" />
<exponentialBackoff name="Backoff Retry Strategy" minBackoff="00:00:01"
maxBackoff="00:00:30" deltaBackoff="00:00:10" maxRetryCount="10"
fastFirstRetry="false"/>
</RetryPolicyConfiguration>
Question 2:
If this does set the default, how do I set this in a cloud service as it does not have a web.config?

Sorry, did not work. I got the NuGet package shown below (the search returned 5+ pages of results - you guys really need to uniquely name your packages).
On the call to GetDefaultSqlConnectionRetryPolicy() I get:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException occurred
HResult=-2146232062
