I\'ve tried this code but it doesn\'t work:

      Configuration con         


        

Answer 1

RuntimeSection of the config file update at runtime using this code:

private void ModifyRuntimeAppConfig()
{
  XmlDocument modifiedRuntimeSection = GetResource("Framework35Rebinding");

  if(modifiedRuntimeSection != null)
  {
    Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
    ConfigurationSection assemblyBindingSection = config.Sections["runtime"];

    assemblyBindingSection.SectionInformation.SetRawXml(modifiedRuntimeSection.InnerXml);
    config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
    ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("runtime");
  }
}

with Framework35Rebinding containing:

and an app.config containing (before the execution of the program):

Nevertheless it doesn't work for that I wanna do because assemblyBinding is only read at startup of the application whereas the RefreshSection("runtime")
