Add array to key in web.config

Add array to key in web.config

To add an array to a key in the web.config file in C#, you can use the ConfigurationManager class to read and write the configuration values.

Here's an example of how to add an array to a key in the appSettings section of the web.config file:

using System.Configuration; // Get the configuration object Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); // Add the array to the appSettings key config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("MyArrayKey", string.Join(",", myArray)); // Save the changes to the configuration file config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);

In this example, we use the ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration method to get a Configuration object that represents the web.config file. We then use the AppSettings.Settings.Add method to add an array to the MyArrayKey key in the appSettings section. The string.Join method is used to convert the array to a comma-separated string that can be stored in the configuration file.

Finally, we use the Configuration.Save method to save the changes to the web.config file.

Note that if the key already exists in the appSettings section, the Add method will overwrite the existing value. If you want to append the array to the existing value, you can read the current value, concatenate it with the new array, and then write the concatenated value back to the configuration file.
