Can ConfigurationManager retain XML comments on Save()?

Question

I\'ve written a small utility that allows me to change a simple AppSetting for another application\'s App.config file, and then save the changes:

 //save a b         


        

Answer 1

If comments are critical, it might just be that your only option is to read & save the file manually (via XmlDocument or the new Linq-related API). If however those comments are not critical, I would either let them go or maybe consider embedding them as (albeit redundant) data elements.
