For personal settings, it appears that MS recommends that you maintain a
separate file to hold them. The official story for the app config file is
that it's intended to be read-only and to contain more or less invariant
application settings, independent of any user preferences. You can use a
separate XML file, for instance, to maintain user preferences. I'd suggest
that you consider keeping such a file in isolated storage (see the
IsolatedStorage class for details).

Hi all,
I was trying to find an easy way to write in the standard configuration
(like app.config) xml-based files. I found classes that can be used to
read this information (in System.Configuration) like the
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings property, but I was not able to find
anything to write app settings in these files. Isn't this kind of
"asymmetrical"? Anyone familiar with the reasons of such a lack?
Thanks a lot,
Ivan Ivanov
