Answer 1

your App.Config willbe converted to ApplicationName.exe.config

so if your application name is SampleApplication.exe then you need to check for the following filename

SampleApplication.exe.config.

FROM MSDN : App.Config

When you develop in Visual Studio, place the source configuration file for your app in the project directory and set its Copy To Output Directory property to Copy always or Copy if newer. The name of the configuration file is the name of the app with a .config extension. For example, an app called myApp.exe should have a source configuration file called myApp.exe.config.
