Change Web config Values using C#.net tool

Hi Suthish,

I am deploying packages in multiple server frequently, logging into servers and finding web.config and changing will kill my time..if i have a tool to get the web.config of servers using credentials then i can edit and save it in a seconds.
Hope you can understand and its my daily routing process.

Now am doing in this way,
1.Loading the config file in TREEVIEW
2.Letting user to edit the Last Child value (Obvisiouly the value of any attribute)
3. How to save it ? :( :( :(

you can also you XMLDocument to load the file from your servers and change accordingly:

code snippet...
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string configFile = Path.Combine(siteFolder, "web.config");
doc.Load(configFile);

.... now process the file....make sure the user has rights..

Hi Narasimman,

It is not advisable to change values in the web.config file and these values must be stored in database or anyother external storage. But still if you need to modify the config file you can use this snippet:

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
config.AppSettings.Settings["myAppKey1"].Value = "NewValueforAppKey1";
config.Save();
