Get filename of current configuration file

c# configuration app-config remoting

I'd think this would be simple, but I can't find an answer.

I'm using remoting and I want to store the RemotingConfiguration in the app.config. When I call RemotingConfiguration.Configure I have to supply the filename where the remoting information resides. So... I need to know the name of the current configuration file.

Currently I'm using this:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location + ".config"

But this only works for windows applications, not for web applications.

Isn't there any class that can supply me with the name of the current config file?
