How to get value from userSettings section in C #
I have this config file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<section name="DynamicFormWorker.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<userSettings>
<DynamicFormWorker.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="mandator" serializeAs="String">
<value>$$mandator$$</value>
</setting>
</DynamicFormWorker.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
<appSettings>
<add key="log4net.Config" value="log4net.config" />
<add key="ClientSettingsProvider.ServiceUri" value="" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<membership defaultProvider="ClientAuthenticationMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="ClientAuthenticationMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.ClientServices.Providers.ClientFormsAuthenticationMembershipProvider, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" serviceUri="" />
</providers>
</membership>
<roleManager defaultProvider="ClientRoleProvider" enabled="true">
<providers>
<add name="ClientRoleProvider" type="System.Web.ClientServices.Providers.ClientRoleProvider, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" serviceUri="" cacheTimeout="86400" />
</providers>
</roleManager>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Now I figured out how to load a specific config file in C #, but I am not actually getting a value for the mandator element.
I am loading exe config as follows
configLocation = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
configLocation.ExeConfigFilename = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "App.config");
exeConfig = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configLocation, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
But how can I get the mandator element inside userSettings? Thanks to

I am not claiming that this is the "standard" or "accepted" way to achieve this value (seems like too long wind!), But you can do it:
ConfigurationSectionGroup userSettings = config.SectionGroups["userSettings"];
var settingsSection = userSettings.Sections["DynamicFormWorker.Properties.Settings"] as ClientSettingsSection;
string mandator = settingsSection.Settings.Get("mandator").Value.ValueXml.InnerText;
