You may read/write the App.Config file using the ConfigurationManager class, see "ConfigurationManager Class" at MSDN[^] and the following CodeProject article: "Read/Write App.Config File with .NET 2.0"[^].
Creating and writing a text file is also well explained, see, for instance: How to: "Write to a Text File (C# Programming Guide)"[^].

I think too that this is the correct way to read/write the App.config. Fiddling arround on XML level is for shure possible but I wouldn't do it...

Simple code to create a text file:

C#

string path = "D:\\Log.txt";             //path and name of the text file
StreamWriter objStreamWriter = new StreamWriter(path);
objStreamWriter.Write("Hi Welcome. . ."); // sting to write on the text file
objStreamWriter.Close();

You'll find this article here on CP about reading (and even writing) the application's configuration file: Read/Write App.Config File with .NET 2.0[^].

One of the ways to create a text file is to use the method System.IO.File.CreateText(String path)[^].
