c# app.config file changes and i get pop up to say yes

Question

I am setting values in app.config using this code

string appPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);          
string configFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(appPath, "App.config");
ExeConfigurationFileMap configFileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();         
configFileMap.ExeConfigFilename = configFile;          
System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configFileMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
config.AppSettings.Settings["YourThing"].Value = "New Value"; 
config.Save();

I works fine, but when the data in app.config changes it asks me (pop up) for changes in app.config. I dont want it to ask for pop up for saving.

How can i stop from getting popup and also save app.config in background.

Thanks

UAC popup? Are these user settings you want to save? If so you should use user level settings instead. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/1357453/512365 — KornMuffin, Jul 05 '16 at 21:11

Try refreshing the AppSetting section after saving it like

config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection("appSettings");
