    Dim appConfig As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
    Debug.Print("app.config: " & appConfig.FilePath)
    Dim serviceModel As ServiceModelSectionGroup = ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup(appConfig)
    Dim bindings As BindingsSection = serviceModel.Bindings
    Dim endpoints As ChannelEndpointElementCollection = serviceModel.Client.Endpoints
    For i As Integer = 0 To endpoints.Count - 1
        Dim endpoint As ChannelEndpointElement = endpoints(i)
        Debug.Print("Endpoint: " & endpoint.Name & " - " & endpoint.Address.ToString)
        If endpoint.Name = name Then
            address = endpoint.Address.ToString
        End If
    Next
    Debug.Print("--- GetEndpointAddress ---")
    Return address
End Function
