Update app.config system.net setting at runtime

by

I did not understand from your question if you don’t have access to the app.config file because of your own design implementation or you just weren’t able to save the config file, so here is a piece of code that allows you to modify and save appSettings section in the config file at runtime:

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
KeyValueConfigurationCollection settings = config.AppSettings.Settings;

// update SaveBeforeExit
settings[-keyname-].Value = "newkeyvalue";
...
//save the file
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
//relaod the section you modified
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection(config.AppSettings.SectionInformation.Name);

P.S the code will not save the app.config file you see in the solution editor, it will pdate the “program_name.exe.config” file in the operation forlder.
