How to read the content of my application.exe.config?

Question

hi,
I have a program named "AMF.exe",
in my project i have added a app.config file and here is the content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" />
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:7873/Service1.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" contract="TestService.IService1"
name="BasicHttpBinding_IService1" />
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8000/WcfService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" contract="AMFService.IWcfService"
name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
</configuration>
I know app.config will become to AMF.exe.config when application is running,
so i try the code as below:
string applicationName = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0];
Debug.Print(string.Format("applicationName = {0}", applicationName));
string exePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, applicationName);
// Get the configuration file. The file name has
// this format appname.exe.config.
System.Configuration.Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(exePath);
string sectionName = "client";
if (config.Sections[sectionName] != null)
//config.Sections[sectionName] always be null
but config.Sections["client"] always be null;
I want to catch the information of this:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8000/WcfService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" contract="AMFService.IWcfService"
name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" />
could somebody tell me how to do this?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
you can use something like that
System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ServiceModelSectionGroup group = System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup(config);
System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ClientSection client = group.Client;
System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElementCollection endpoints = client.Endpoints;
System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElement firstEndpoint = endpoints[0];
System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElement secondEndpoint = endpoints[1];
