embed app config into c# code in wcf

Question

i have a client program that connect to my wcf service. i want to embed app config to C# code till users can not change or even see app.config .

but i cannot bring these two config setting to C# code:

<system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source propagateActivity="true" name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Warning">
        <listeners>
          <add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
            <filter type="" />
          </add>
          <add name="NewListener">
            <filter type="" />
          </add>
        </listeners>
      </source>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Warning,ActivityTracing" >
        <listeners>
          <add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
            <filter type="" />
          </add>
          <add name="NewListener">
            <filter type="" />
          </add>
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
    <sharedListeners>
      <add initializeData="Trace.svclog" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
          name="NewListener" traceOutputOptions="LogicalOperationStack, DateTime, Timestamp, ProcessId, ThreadId, Callstack">
        <filter type="" />
      </add>
    </sharedListeners>
  </system.diagnostics>

And

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true" >
      <proxy autoDetect="True" usesystemdefault="True"/>
    </defaultProxy>
  </system.net>

i added some code like this

 System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener xmlt = new System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener("Trace.svclog", "myListener");
  System.Diagnostics.Trace.Listeners.Add(xmlt):

but did not work . when you set Trace Listener in app.config File , The application will automatic log exception,Warning,etc occured (That i want) but when i create System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener i must write log (exceptions) my self.

about default proxy i found some classes but i can not find those setting in classes.

Questions :

1- I want to bring these Settings to C# code.(i want C# result be exact like app.config result)

2- is the app.config Stronger than C# code? can i find all app.config settings in c# classes?

Answer 1

Yes you can configure all of the settings for the WCF in code. Searching the stackoverflow I found a link were this questions has been asked wcf-configuration-without-a-config-file Also there is a link from the Microsoft MSDN MSDN Source. About the tracing of the WCF here is a link that also will help you:WCF Tracing in code
