ConfigurationManager - How to read a value from .exe.config - c#

i'm working on an app that allow users to manage windows programs.
So i have a .exe.config file and contains this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="Control_Desk.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2" />
</startup>
<userSettings>
<Control_Desk.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="enabletw" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enablelivemail" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enabledesktop" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enablelogmein" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enableps" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enablecorel" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>
<setting name="enablescanner" serializeAs="String">
<value>False</value>
</setting>
</Control_Desk.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
And i want to read and change the valeus, but, no sucess, no changes are saved and i cant read any value, when i try, the program throws a System.NullReferenceException, here is my code:
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
if (config.AppSettings.Settings["enablelivemail"].Value == "True")
{
config.AppSettings.Settings["enablelivemail"].Value = "False";
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection(config.AppSettings.SectionInformation.Name);
//ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");
}
else
{
config.AppSettings.Settings["enablelivemail"].Value = "True";
config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection(config.AppSettings.SectionInformation.Name);
}
So, on second line i got the exception and nothing works, any help?
Thanks in advance!

config.AppSettings on 2nd line reads from <appSettings> node in config file. And there is no <appSettings> node on your config file.

<!-- <ComboBoxItem Content="Personal"/>
<ComboBoxItem Content="Corporate"/> -->
</ComboBox>
Values in Settings File -

Any idea what is wrong here?
I am guessing it is cached somewhere but not sure where.
Make sure you call Settings1.Default.Save() somewhere in there. I forget that all the time.

switching the nodes of two user settings in app.config

I need to switch the nodes of two users settings which are saved in app.config at runtime as renaming the key name is not possible. (nodes under WindowsFormsApplication2.Settings2 to WindowsFormsApplication2.Settings1)
I tried to find a solutions by searching the web and tried to use below code to do that but I get error " object reference not set to instance of object" .
Any help would be appreciated.

Transform user settings with slowCheetah

I am trying you change my default user configuration according to the build profile with slowCheetah, however I am not able to find the right way to use it
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >

</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String">
<value>
something
</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
I have been trying
<!-- &amp it's an & escaped in xml-->
<add key="MyApp.Properties.Settings.Url" value="www.google.com" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(key)"/>
but it doesn't work.
How can I do this?
If I get it right, you have this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="MyApp.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String">
<value>
something
</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
And you want to transform it to:
(replace <value>something</value> with <value>www.google.com</value>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
<section name="MyApp.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<userSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String">
<value>
www.google.com
</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
The easiest way to do this is to have the following text in your transformation file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<userSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String">
<value xdt:Transform="Replace">
www.google.com
</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
It replaces (<value xdt:Transform="Replace">) your <value></value> with the text you want.
Or if you want to select the section to replace with the name="Url" attribute:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<userSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
<value>
www.google.com
</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</userSettings>
</configuration>
We do the same action here (replace: xdt:Transform="Replace") but we reach the value to change by matching an attribute: xdt:Locator="Match(name)"

How to Read an "app.config" File in a VB.NET Project from C#

I have a solution that contains a VB.NET project and a C# project. The VB.NET project is the main one. It references the C# project for user management services. Both connect to the same database. The connection string to this database is stored in the app.config file of the VB.NET project. It also contains other user and application level settings. I am able to read the connection string from the config from inside C# by using the following line of code:
String connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Kais2012.My.MySettings.ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
One of the other application level properties contained in the config file is called "TeamId". I have written the following code to read it from C#.
String teamId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Kais2012.My.MySettings.TeamId"];
This does not work and I can't figure out why. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
The way it doesn't work is that teamId returns null. Here's content of the app.config file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Use this :
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[""]
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[""]
Refers, specifically, to the the configuration section <appSettings> not to a custom configuration section group named <applicationSettings>. Either move your configuration to the correct section or implement a custom ConfigurationSection and use:
ConfigurationManager.GetSection()
You can mark the settings as public in the C# project ("Access Modifier" in the property pane of settings) and then you can access it from the vb project (don't forget to add the reference).
Dim settings = New ClassLibraryCSharp.Properties.Settings
dim con = settings.ConnectionString
Edit:
Just saw that your question was for the other direction (setting in vb project, read it in c# project). But you can do it also in the other direction.

Try putting the configSections as the first child element of configuration, because configSections should be the first element of configurations
So your config file will go like this:
<configuration>
<configSections>

</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

This is a bit late I know but when I remove this:

</startup>
then the error disappears.
This works for me.
Make sure that your app.config or web.config starts with the <configSections> tag inside the <configuration> tab e.g
<configSections>
<section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="true"/>
