Editing Web.config programmatically

Question

What is a good way to edit a Web.config file programmatically?

I looked into System.Xml but couldn\'t find any obvious answers.

Answer 1

Depending on what you are doing, the method is really a bit different in each situation. However the most robust method is to load it as an XmlDocument and modify it as needed via that method, but you MUST be careful to only modify it in the needed manner.
