I think you are running your code from VS. Just run the exe from outside and
it will work.

Hi,

I've tried the code out with reference from msdn and I've got the same
problem as well.

When going thru the stepbystep debugger, I can see the values being added to
the ConfigurationManager, but somehow the values are not being save to the
app.config file.

eg.

using System.Configuration;

ConfigurationSection section =
(ConfigurationSection)config.GetSection("appSettin gs");

//Read the key in the app.config file
AppSettingsSection assection = config.AppSettings;
string str = assection.Settings["aaa"].Value.ToString();

// Add an Application Setting.
config.AppSettings.Settings.Add(asName, "test_value");

// Save the configuration file.
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);

// Force a reload of a changed section.
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings") ;

Is there an error in my code ? Any feedback is appreciated.

cheers,
Andrew

I don't know whether anyone from Microsoft regularly reads the Visual Basic
groups but if they do then I am very surprised that they permit one of their
own MVPs to engage in such outrageous long term trolling activities in one
of their own public newsgroups, such as the activity that the person who
purports to be Bill McCarthy has engaged in on the
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion group for many months. If this man
belongs to you:

.. . . then perhaps you might like to look at his activity in that group.
Here for example is one of his very latest offerings:

Yeh, still a way to go. I think given the warm reaction today,
and given some folks have learning difficulties around here
(obviously why they are still *stuck* in VB6 *only*), might
just have to ramp things up a notch or two, and make it more
toasty :D
