There's no easy way to interact with writing to web.config. You have to use
the classes inside System.XML to modify the .config file like any other xml
file..

note: if your app writes to the web config. it will force a recycle

If you are using ASP.NET 2.0 you can use the config API to write to
web.config (and other configuration files). I have some examples in
this article: http://odetocode.com/Articles/418.aspx.

It's also possible to avoid an application restart. You'll have to
move the section into an external file
(configSource="connections.config") and modify the connectionsStrings
element under <configSections> in machine.config with
restartOnExternalChanges="false". The article goes into some detail on
this topic also.
