How can I specify an alternate config file for a WCF client?
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 system. I cannot add to the existing 'app.config' file, and would like specify a separate .config file for use by my client code. How best can I accomplish this? Thanks! There are 2 options. Option 1. Working with channels. If you are working with channels directly, .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5 has the ConfigurationChannelFactory . The example on MSDN looks like this: ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
