How to programmaticaly change the web.config?

[PSiegmann]

Hello group..

Is there a way to change web.config entries at runtime? I haven't
found a class for that.
I have around 20 entries in the web.config, and I want a add a
configuration menu into my app, so that the administrator can change
some of the settings, without editing the web.config directly with a
text editor.

The way to go is to put all your setting that can change in a separate file.

Put this line in the <configurationsection on web.config

<appSettings file="MySettings.xml"/>

Having done that, you can access parameteres in MySettings.xml via
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.
