Adding new key/value pairs to appSettings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but it's late...

I have a C# 2 WinForms project called RTES, and I'm trying to add new
key/value pairs to the appSettings section of its config file. I'm using the
code here:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/SystemConfiguration.asp?msg=1971660 as
an example.

The folder \RTES\bin\debug folder contains the following files:

RTES.exe
RTES.exe.config
RTES.pdb
RTES.vshost.exe
RTES.vshost.exe.config

When I run the app in debug mode, RTES.vshost.exe.config gets updated with
the new key/value pair - RTES.exe.config doesn't...

However, as soon as I exit the app, RTES.vshost.exe.config reverts to the
way it was...

Is this normal?

Is it not possible to use the AppSettings.Settings.Add(...) method to add
new key/value pairs permanently...?

Any assistance gratefully received.

Mark
