Loading custom configuration files

Question

I know I can open config files that are related to an assembly with the static ConfigurationManager OpenExe exePath  method but I just want to open a config that is not related to an assembly  Just a standard  NET config file

The config file is just an XML file  you can open it by   private static XmlDocument loadConfigDocument         XmlDocument doc   null      try               doc   new XmlDocument            doc Load getConfigFilePath             return doc            catch  System IO FileNotFoundException e                throw new Exception  No configuration file found    e             catch  Exception ex                return null            and later retrieving values by          retrieve appSettings node      XmlNode node    doc SelectSingleNode    appSettings
