Modify appSettings in wen.config file.

[=?Utf-8?B?THVib21pcg==?=]

Hi,

I have a custom settings in <appSettingssec tion in the web.config. I need
to modify this section from the C# exe application (NOT asp.net)

web.config:
<appSettings>
<add key="MyKeyName" value="MyValue"/>
<appSettings/>

I am using the following code:

System.Configur ation.Configura tion configuration =
System.Web.Conf iguration.WebCo nfigurationMana ger.OpenWebConf iguration(
"/MyWebSite/MyApp" );
System.Configur ation.AppSettin gsSection app =
(System.Configu ration.AppSetti ngsSection)conf iguration.GetSe ction(
"appSetting s" );
app.Settings["MyKeyName"].Value = value;
1/
The collection app.Settings is empty; should contain one item.

2/
Also I am not sure if the path "/MyWebSite/MyApp" is in correct format, as
there is expected the virtual path = how to find what is the virtual path for
web.config in MyApp application folder? I wouldlike to note again, this code
is an *.exe C# application, not asp.net.

Any help would be appretiated.

Thanks,
Lubomir

you need to pass the server, site, subpath and a user security token (or
username password) to OpenWebConfigur ation.
