You didn't tell us what problem you're seeing. Is an exception being
thrown? Are you getting null values back? What's going wrong? What do you
mean by "not accessible to the application"?

When you say "app.config", you really mean "appname.exe.config", right?

If you're trying to configure remoting via a config file, it won't work.

I do have no-touch deployment working an retrieving values from a config
file so, it is possible.
