    //the connectionStrings section.
    Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.
        OpenExeConfiguration(appPath + @"\" + exeConfigName);

    ConnectionStringsSection section =
        config.GetSection("connectionStrings")
        as ConnectionStringsSection;
}

At least, this is the method I use when encrypting and decrypting the connectionStrings section for my console/GUI apps. exeConfigName is the name of the executable including the .exe.
