C＃读写应用程序配置文件App.exe.config，并在界面上显示

C#读写应用程序配置文件App.exe.config，本质是xml文件的读写。

我们将配置文件的AppSettings节点和ConnectionStrings节点内容自动绑定到分组框控件GroupBox中，同时可以批量保存。

一、新建Windows窗体应用程序SaveDefaultXmlConfigDemo，将默认的Form1重命名为FormSaveDefaultXmlConfig。

窗体 FormSaveDefaultXmlConfig设计如图：

 添加对System.Configuration的引用。

为窗体FormSaveDefaultXmlConfig绑定Load事件FormSaveDefaultXmlConfig_Load

为按钮btnSaveConfig绑定事件btnSaveConfig_Click。

二、默认的应用程序配置文件App.config配置如下：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1" />
    </startup>
<appSettings>
  <add key="SoftName" value="Sword7" />
  <add key="Supplier" value="SoftStar" />
  <add key="EnabledTcp" value="1" />
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
  <add name="DataConnect" providerName="MySql.Data" connectionString="server=127.0.0.1;Database=test;Uid=root;Pwd=root;" />
  <add name="ExternalConnect" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="server=127.0.0.1;Database=external;Uid=root;Pwd=123456;" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>

三、窗体FormSaveDefaultXmlConfig源程序如下

（忽略设计器自动生成的代码）：

            //添加引用System.Configuration
        }

                    config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings[tupleConnectionStrings[i].Item1].ConnectionString = tupleConnectionStrings[i].Item3;
                }

 修改保存配置后，打开SaveDefaultXmlConfigDemo.exe.Config文件
