Issues with setting up ConfigurationManagement Application Block (Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Config

[Basem]

I have found people with similar errors using the
ConfigurationManagement application block, but those solutions don't
seem to do anything...basically, just trying to read in a
configuration xml file using this application block, and getting the
same error over and over no matter what.

Here is my setup:

app.config file:
----------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section
name="applicationConfigurationManagement"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement.ConfigurationManagerSectionHandler,Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement,
Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null" />
<section
name="OtherConfigFile"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement.XmlHashtableSectionHandler,Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null"
/>
</configSections>

<applicationConfigurationManagement defaultSection="OtherConfigFile"<configSection name="OtherConfigFile">
<configProvider assembly="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.ConfigurationManagement.Storage.XmlFileStorage"
refreshOnChange="true"
encrypted="false"
path="C:\Config\otherConfigFile.xml"/> <!-- Please correct
the path if the sample is not being run from VS.NET -->
</configSection>
</applicationConfigurationManagement>
</configuration>

Below is the Sample file I took from Microsfot and placed at
C:\Config\

otherConfigFile.xml:
--------------------
<configuration>
- <OtherConfigFile>
- <CustomConfigurationData
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Color>Burnt Orange</Color>
<SomeText>FROM THE CONFIG FILE, not encrypted</SomeText>
<Size>3245</Size>
</CustomConfigurationData>
</OtherConfigFile>
</configuration>

In my main code, I just do the following line of code to initialize:

ConfigurationManager.Initialize();

I continuously get the following error:

{"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." }

I have actually stepped through the ConfigurationManagement code, and
it just doesn't seem to execute the following line of code properly,
always returning a null object:

(From ConfigurationManagerSectionHandler --> Instance)
_singletonSelf = (ConfigurationManagementSettings)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig(
"applicationConfigurationManagement" );


I would really appreciate any insight into getting this situation to
work...basically, I'd like to use this applicationblock for loading
config data to and from xml files...

Thanks
