have you breakpointed where the Console.WriteLine call is to see what "foo" really is?

I can't see anything wrong with the code or the xml file except for the question mark (?) before the xml tag
If it's a typo error, in your c# project, is the config file's name App.config?

besides that, I can't see anything wrong with what you're doing.

or perhaps you just need a Console.Read(); statement at the end of your code to see the printing on the screen.
