Location of applicationname.exe.config in C#

Where I can find the applicationname.exe.config file in my Windows form application. Where can I find the application exe... mentioned that config file should be placed in Release or Debug files. But I cannot see the file in those places.

Also, I manually copied the config file from project root directory and past it in Release directory. Still the changes are not effected.

Then, I renamed the config as applicationname.exe.config, still the not effected.

Anybody can tell me how can I overcome ?

It should be in the same folder as applicationname.exe. That is generally where the config files are for win forms applications.

If it is not there, you can create a new one, with the name applicationname.exe.config.

Try,

string path = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0] + ".config";
