Easiest way to read a config file belonging to another application

Hi

Other than using raw XML, is there an easy way in .NET to open and read a config file belonging to another assembly...? I don't need to write to it, just grab a couple of values from it.

Thanks

• Have you tried ConfigurationManager and OpenExeConfiguration(path)? (in System.Configuration.dll)

  From Marc Gravell

• Here's MSDN on OpenExeConfiguration.

  And here's a shorter explanation of how to use it, including how to alter the file.

  DrG : are you sure about that link to OpenExeConfiguration on MSDN?

  DOK : Thanks, in spite. I've updated that link.
