Writing to app.config

[ryanbreakspear]

Hi, I've spent some time looking at articles about this but I can't
get it to work. I'm trying to write to my app.config file in .Net 2.0
using:

Configuration config =
ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
config.AppSettings.Settings["email"].Value = "(e-mail address removed)";
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Minimal, true);

I get the message "Attempting to perform an unauthorized operation".
This is going to be a single user application with full write access
to the executable's path.

Thanks in advance.

Interestingly, this works on a local drive. The LocalIntranet Zone
settings are set up to FullTrust, and I can read/write to other files
in the same location from within the application.

Any ideas?

Why are you trying to do that?
Can't you use user settings instead which will be saved somewhere else?

Because I want all the configuration settings in one place, and the
settings aren't specific to a user.
