Andrea,

The .NET Framework does not let you modify config files via the classes in
System.Configuration.

If you have to modify them, then you can do so by hand with the XmlDocument
class or with the Configuration Management Application Block [0].

However, modifying the .config files has its own set of issues that may
collide with the development guidelines for windows applications.User
specific settings, for example should not be stored in the application
directory (where app.config resides), but in the user's folder \documents
and settings\username\LocalSettings\<blablabla>
