{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            // Set the source of OPC UA .NET SDK configuration to the "App.config" file only. In "old-style" Visual Studio
            // projects (for .NET Framework only), during the build, Visual Studio copies the "App.config" file from the
            // project to the output directory, and renames it to match the name of the executable. In this example, the
            // "App.config" from the project becomes "UANetSdkConfiguration.exe.config" in the build output directory. The
            // runtime looks for this file by appending ".config" to the name of the currently running executable.
            //
            // In "new-style" Visual Studio projects (mainly for .NET Core/.NET 5+), this automatic mechanism is not
            // present. To get around it, simply include a properly named "App.config" file (in our case, it is
            // "UANetSdkConfiguration.dll.config") in the project's root directory, and set "Copy to Output Directory" in
            // its Properties to either "Copy always" or "Copy if newer". Notice the ".dll.config" file extension used
            // under .NET Core/.NET 5+, as opposed to ".exe.config" under .NET Framework.
            // 
            // The "App.config" mechanism is a standard configuration mechanism in .NET Framework. In our case, the
            // "App.config" contains a references to *another* XML configuration file, whose format is specific to the OPC
            // UA .NET SDK. This example calls this file "MyApplication.Config.xml", but it can have any name, as long as it
            // matches the information provided in the (properly renamed) "App.config".
            //
            // The "MyApplication.Config.xml" file in this example specifies somewhat lower value for the MaxMessageSize
            // transport quota than the default.
            //
            // If the "App.config" file does not specify the file path of the OPC UA .NET SDK configuration, the component
            // tries to load it from a default file, residing in the same directory as the application's executable
            // assembly, and with the same name, but with a file extension ".Config.xml". This means that for this project,
            // it would be named UANetSdkConfiguration.Config.xml.
