<applicationSettings>
    <OPCClient.Properties.Settings>
        <setting name="Client_Service" serializeAs="String">
            <value>http://localhost/test/service.asmx</value>

Have a look at the ConfigurationManager class. The linked MSDN article gives an extensive example on its use, and it allows you to achieve exactly what you are wanting to do.

Also, a worthy note is that you need to add a reference to System.configuration.dll in your project to make use of the class.

@eba - Do you have access to changing the form of the configuration file? – Kyle Rosendo Sep 22 '10 at 05:56
yes, but now i can not change its form, because its used by another code in app – eba Sep 22 '10 at 06:00
