System.COnfiguration in C#2.0

I tried to add a new key value pair in app.setting

System.Configuration.Configuration config =ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("ModificationDate",DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());

config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified,true);

config.SaveAs("New");

// Force a reload of a changed section.

ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");

But i can't see the change being reflected in the file....

Hi,

You need to change how you open the configuration reference to (otherwise you only change the appsettings that the app holds in memory)

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.ExecutablePath);

This example works:

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(Application.ExecutablePath);
// Create a new AppSettings key-value pair entry:
config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("NewKey", "New Value");
// Save the changes back to the original configuration file:
config.Save();

Cheers!

Hi,

Use

config.AppSettings.Settings["YourKey"].Value = "YourValue";
