Default Modify a web.config file


This is a stupid question but I risk it.

Just in case something is possible...

How can I modify the web.config settings from ASP.NET programming?

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="">
<network host="link.geogio.com" password="password"
userName="username" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

Just note that modifying the web.config will cause your application to
restart.

You can't, because the file is locked. You can do it outside the web, but,
as mentioned by Eliyahu, it will restart your application, booting off all
live sessions.

In .NET 2.0, you can make additional "config" files that are linked from the
web.config and do it that way. Or, you can create your own configuration
"handler" and do whatever you wish.
