 XmlReaderSettings _configsettings = new XmlReaderSettings();
 _configsettings.IgnoreComments = true;

 XmlReader _configreader = XmlReader.Create(ConfigFilePath, _configsettings);
 XmlDocument doc_config = new XmlDocument();
 doc_config.Load(_configreader);
 _configreader.Close();

 foreach (XmlNode RootName in doc_config.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
 {
     if (RootName.LocalName == "appSettings")
     {
         if (RootName.HasChildNodes)
         {
             foreach (XmlNode _child in RootName.ChildNodes)
             {
                 if (_child.Attributes["key"].Value == "HostName")
                 {
                     if (_child.Attributes["value"].Value == "false")
                         _child.Attributes["value"].Value = "true";
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }
 doc_config.Save(ConfigFilePath);
