Get the file path of current application's config file

The reason I asked this question is that I wanted to create a helper class for Remoting instantiation, and wanted to pass the appropriate app.exe.config (or web.config) file path to the RemotingConfiguration.Configure method, depending on the caller.

Is there a way I could get the name of the config file for both Win and Web apps without checking if the application is Web or WinForms?

c# .net web-config app-config

I've used

string folder = System.Web.HttpContext.Current != null ?
    System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "App_data") :
    System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

without problems, but maybe there is some corner cases I don't know about...
