ConfigurationManager .Net

How you read your custom setting in your application configuration file.

//Read settings
public static string ReadConfig(string key)
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.GetValues(key)[0];
}

//Update Settings & get immediate changes
public static void SetConfig(string key, string value)
{
Configuration con = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
con.AppSettings.Settings[key].Value = value;
con.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full);
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");
}
