App.config Problem when launched from IIS not locally

I have an application that when launched under Windows XP, from an IIS web
server, will not read values from the app.config file.

I have looked at the IL code and attempted to reconstruct what
AppSettings["key"] does.

I can create a webclient and download the app.config file and can even
display it in my application. However the AppSettings["key"] approach yeilds
a null value.

It is not a security problem on the web server (at least that I can see), I
can download the app.config file using IE, or through code.

If I run the application from my local machine this problem does not happen

Furthurmore I have disabled DotNet security by using [caspol -s off] so I
can't see any security problems.

Please help. This is a very important application for our organiztion.

The file needs to be called "app.config" in VS.NET - but during
compilation, it will be renamed to "yourapp.exe.config".

If it's still called "app.config" it won't be recognized.

Also, it needs to be in the directory where the "YourApp.exe" resides
- it can't be found anywhere else.
