Can I concat an endpoint address to a variable in app.config file?

Question

Is this possible in appconfig file?

<add key="@IPAddress" value="http://00.00.00.00:0000"/>

replace this:

<endpoint address="http://00.00.00.00:0000/some/something"
               binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding"

with this:

<endpoint address="@IPaddress/some/something"
               binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding"

You can't do it in config. But you can change your address in runtime, like this

var confAddress=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IPAddress"];
string address = confAddress+"/some/something";
using (ServiceHost serviceHost = new ServiceHost(typeof(yourContract), address))
{
   //Consume your service
}
