Here is what i do in my code.  I am sure there is a better way to get the path to your app.config, but here is what i do.  i create a settings class that is used to retrieve all the values from the App.Config.  I set it up once and I am able to call it from everywhere.  In the below example I initialize the appconfig Configuration mConfig and create public procedures to retrieve the values using it and the App.Config.  You can change the AppConfigpath below to match where the relative location in the output directory.  Hope this helps.   //APP.CONFIG <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration>   <startup>     <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1"/>   </startup>   <appSettings>     <!--Set the Environment-->     <add key="Environment" value="TR"/>    </appSettings> </configuration>     //Settings Class used to retrieve values from App.Config     public static class Settings     {         private static Configuration mConfig;         static Settings()         {             initializeAppConfig();             MessageBox.Show(CurrentApplicationEnvironment);         }         //CurrentApplicationEnvironment         private static string _CurrentApplicationEnvironment;         public static string CurrentApplicationEnvironment         {             get             {                 if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_CurrentApplicationEnvironment))                 {                     _CurrentApplicationEnvironment = mConfig.AppSettings.Settings["Environment"].Value;                                    }                 return _CurrentApplicationEnvironment;             }         }         const string appConfigPath = "App.Config";         private static void initializeAppConfig()         {             try             {                 string executingAssemblyFqPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);                 executingAssemblyFqPath = (System.IO.Path.Combine(executingAssemblyFqPath, appConfigPath));                 if (System.IO.File.Exists(executingAssemblyFqPath))                 {                     ExeConfigurationFileMap map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();                     map.ExeConfigFilename = executingAssemblyFqPath;                     mConfig = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);                 }             }             catch (Exception e)             {                             }         }      } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
