Question

I have the following problem:

I need to get a ConfigurationSection – object from a stream that contains a well formed app.config – file (which will has to be loaded from the assembly resource streams).

Is there any way to load that from a stream?

Background (to satisfy the “why would you want that” questions):

I’m working on some kind of plugin – system based on Unity (and no – I CAN NOT use MEF, because MEF doesn’t support Unity and it’s all a pain).

My idea is to have a “extension manifest” – file as a resource in the plugin – assemblies which have the same format as an app.config file but are only there to setup the Unity – IoC.
