OpenMappedExeCo nfiguration and configuration, configSections, sectionGroup values

[Dave]

I'm access a non default application config file with
OpenMappedExeCo nfiguration() and it works great for "appSetting s"
values, but I cannot get it to work for configSection values / with
NameValueCollec tion.

Here is some sample code:

ExeConfiguratio nFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfiguratio nFileMap();
fileMap.ExeConf igFilename = @"C:\Program Files\KAF\bin
\Latch2.exe.con fig";
System.Configur ation.Configura tion configFile =
ConfigurationMa nager.OpenMappe dExeConfigurati on(fileMap,
ConfigurationUs erLevel.None);

// the following works fine
int userLoginFreque ncy =
Convert.ToInt32 (configFile.App Settings.Settin gs["UserLoginFrequ ency"].Value);

// but this does not work - jrArgsCollectio n being null
NameValueCollec tion jrArgsCollectio n = (NameValueColle ction)
ConfigurationMa nager.GetSectio n("MultiInvocat ionGroup/
JRArgumentsSect ion");

the latter syntax worked great when i was using OpenExeConfigur ation()
instead of OpenMappedExeCo nfiguration() but it doesn't work anymore.

any help would be much appreciated, thanks, dave

So does no one know the answer to this? I'm a bit surprised...
