Regarding WCF Services And ConfigSource Attribute

Question

I was wondering if there was ever going to be a formal inclusion of configsource as an attribute for WCF Service related web/app configs. The reason being for an enterprise like the one I work for having a variety of services and applications which we want to have assignable and modifiable from a single location instead of the distribution of them across all the installed applications. The configsource attribute is available for a variety of other elements in the config (such as http parameters/requests) and since this is somewhat of a related thing I would think that it'd be helpful and a logical step to consolidate client endpoint management, service availability, and the like.

Thanks for your time.

Hi @Andrew Ramshaw , For WCF, unfortunately the configSource attribute does not work on the <system.serviceModel> section group, but you can still apply it on the child config sections. For more information about it, you can refer to this link:
