[Mono-osx] ConfigurationErrorsException loading user settings (duplicate key)

[d_v]

Hi and thanks Matt.

I am using a "config" file called: <MyUploader_App>.exe.config in my Windows
Form Application .exe root path.   
It is created automagically by VS 2005.NET.
I experienced the errors on Mon0 2.2_5 (latest) version on Mac OS X 10.5.6

The .exe when running on Mono fails before I even read the config file
settings myself.
It fails when I instantiate (if that's the right word) in Form1() code
block, a global web service variable with the lines:

public Form1()
        {
        InitializeComponent();     
        MyWebService = new MyUploaderService();    // Fails Here:    // load
web service (global variable)
        }



Here is the "config" file contents that fail:
///////////////////////////

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings"

                <value>MyUserID</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="Password" serializeAs="String">
                <value>MyPassword</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="Install_cod" serializeAs="String">
                <value>1</value>
            </setting>
            <setting
name="MyUploader_App_UploaderService_ClientUploaderService"
                serializeAs="String">
               
<value>https://www.MyWebSite.net/TestWS/UploaderService.asmx</value>
            </setting>
        </MyUploader_App.Properties.Settings>
    </applicationSettings>
    <userSettings>
        <MyUploader_App.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="UploadTime" serializeAs="String">
                <value>09:30</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="Domain" serializeAs="String">
                <value>MyDomain</value>
            </setting>
        </MyUploader_App.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration>


I read the .exe.config file like so later on:  
    Properties.Settings.Default.Install_cod;
