How can I specify an alternate config file for a WCF client?

Question

I am working on a large system, for which I have to use WCF to access a web service. My test code works fine, now I need to integrate my WCF client code into the larger sys

you can't do this as you like - you can come close, but can't do it totally.

What you could do is add this section to the main app's config file:

   
   
   
   
  .....

So for each section inside , you could specify an external config file by using the configSource= attribute (and don't let Visual Studio's red squiggly lines confuse it - yes, it DOES work!).

You can do this for any configuration section - but unfortunately, there's no way to do this for the whole section group ().
