How to reload/refresh app.config?

In C#, you can reload or refresh the app.config file using the ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection() method.

Here's an example of how to reload or refresh the app.config file in C#:

// Get the current configuration file Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); // Refresh the appSettings section config.AppSettings.SectionInformation.ForceSave = true; ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");

In this example, we first get the current Configuration file using the ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration() method. We then set the ForceSave property to true on the appSettings section of the configuration file. Finally, we call the ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection() method to refresh the appSettings section.

By using this method, you can reload or refresh the app.config file in your C# application. Note that any changes made to the app.config file will not take effect until you refresh the configuration file.
