Hi,

I want to change the web.config file through c# programmatically. I can able modify the web.config when I am executing the project locally. But I want to modify the web.config file after hosting in IIS. I can able to retrieve all connection strings and appsetting value. But while updating the web.config i can not update. How to do?

I am getting the following error
"Access to the path 'File Name' is denied"

How to solve?

A simple search returns many results. Take a look at http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/17562-Edit-Delete-Create-Encrypt-sections.aspx[^] and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2260317/change-a-web-config-programmatically-with-c-sharp-net[^].

BTW, why do you want to modify the web.config file. I would probably be taking a different approach to modiying that file programatically.
