title: Config file settings not refreshing until application restart
body: <p>As the question title states, I'm saving some application settings (currently just a database path) to the application configuration file. The changes seem to save into the file ok, but when I then try to read the new data I get an empty string. The new data reads in fine if I restart the application, but I do need it to read in without having to restart the app. My config settings class is below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Configuration;
  using System.Windows.Forms;
  
  namespace HADDMS_Asset_Management_System
  {
      public static class ConfigSettings
      {
          public static bool WriteSetting(string key, string value)
          {
              try
              {
                  System.Configuration.Configuration config =
                      ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
  
                  config.AppSettings.Settings[key].Value = value;
                  config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified);
                  ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection(key);
              }
              catch (Exception e)
              {
                  MessageBox.Show("Error writing to configuration settings:\r\n" + e.ToString());
                  return false;
              }
  
              return true;
          }
  
          public static string ReadSetting(string key)
          {
              return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key];
          }
  
          public static string ReadSetting(int keyIndex)
          {
              return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[keyIndex];
          }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit:
  I should add that I am running the application from the release folder.</p>
