App.config and saving the configurations...?

Hello,

I've searched the internet but couldn't find what i need.I created a config file:
App.config:
< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
<configuration>
<appSettings >
<add key="Refresh" value="60" />
<add key="File" value ="einstein.jpg"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

I created a winform to view and change the information.

I can show the config ,it's ok:
this.refreshTextBox.Text =System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Refresh"];
this.fileTextBox.Text = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["File"];

I tried this code to save the changes but it doesn't work:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Refresh"] =this.refreshTextBox.Text;
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Dosya"] = this.dosyaTextBox.Text;

What's the problem with that Isn't this possible to save

Thanks

Hi,

Since App.Config values are read only, workaround for this problem would be Set and Get values to CurrentDomain.

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("Domain",

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Domain"];);

label1.Text = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("Domain").ToString();

Hope this would help you.

Cheers,

Kris

In .NET 2 you can write to an App.config file.

Have a look at ms-ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/cpref4/html/M_System_Configuration_Configuration_Save_1_63c16463.htm there is an example that should help you do what you want.

The file named App.config can't be written, read it please.
