Parsing settings in app.config and changing a value

[rickmmrr]

Hi All,

 

I need to be able to parse the settings in app.config and change some of them.

Then have .NET persisit the changes back to the user.config file since the properties I want to change are user scope. Below is the approach I am taking.

 

// Get the properties object

Properties.Settings appSettings = ProgramName.Properties.Settings.Default;

 

// Get the properties collection

SettingsPropertyCollection SettingsCollection = ProgramName.Properties.Settings.Default.Properties;

 

// get a couple of property objects from the collection

System.Configuration.SettingsProperty Day = zeusSettingsCollection["The_Day"];

System.Configuration.SettingsProperty Year = zeusSettingsCollection["The_Year"];

 

// change the values

Day.DefaultValue = "Set in Program";

Year.DefaultValue = "Set in Program";

 

// save the changes

appSettings.Save();

 

This is not working.

 

Thanks in advance.

Solved

 

All I had to do was this

 

ProgramName.Properties.Settings.Default[Key] = Value;

ProgramName.Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
