c# - How do I open the machine.config from .NET v2.0.50727 -

the application want read settings writes section of machine.config in c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config.

but when use following code:

configuration mymc = webconfigurationmanager.openmachineconfiguration(); console.writeline(mymc.filepath.tostring()); 

the path returned .net 4 machine.config:

c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config 

edit: app uses mef, requires .net 4, writing app .net 2 not option.

you can open xml or text file, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307548

you create service runs in .net 2.0, , call service .net 4.0 app.

but why need this?
