Adding values to a configuration block.

[UJ]

How do you add a new value to a configuration file through the configuration
block through code? When I try and add a new value I get an exception.

TIA - Jeff.

Jeff,

When you say add new values ot a configuration file, i assume you mean the
application configuration files. Please see example below.

<Configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="NewKey" value="MyNewValue" />
</appSettings>
</Configuration>

And to read the configurations back you can do something like
string MyValue =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["NewKey"];

No I mean through the Configuration Application Block. When I attempt to add
an item that isn't there I get an exception.
