Hello everybody.

I'm building a Visual Studio Package and associated with it, I have an app.config file (which contains some information about connecting to a WCF service).

As far as I can tell, this package is actually connecting to the devnev.exe.config configuration file (if I use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile), it will retrieve the path to the devnev.exe.config

Firstly, is this correct? Shouldn't the package automatically pick up the app.config file? If this is the case, then how can I make the project use the app.config file?

I'm running VS2010 Ultimate, programming in C#.

Thanks!
