Thank you for your suggestion.

But if I try the code (Get the section), as you suggested, I get the error on the key work "configuration" and the same message:
"The name 'configuration' does not exist in the current context"

But I think I found the solution. I replaced the 'configuration' with the ConfigurationManager and now I get no error. And the currentMode has the value Form (which should be in the example I am running). Hopefully I am not missing anything.
Thank you, again.
