  why is " remove key="myAdminTool" / " added while adding key to webconfig

  Nov 27, 2011 06:56 PM|LINK

  i used a snippet of code from internet it resulted in the next web.config appsettings . another snipped of code only added the setting

  Sub config()
          Dim conf As Configuration = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~")
  
  
          
          Dim myAdminKeyVal As KeyValueConfigurationElement
          myAdminKeyVal = New KeyValueConfigurationElement("myAdminTool", "admin.aspx")
  
          conf.AppSettings.Settings.Add(myAdminKeyVal)
  
          conf.Save(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSaveMode.Modified)
  
  
      End Sub
  
  
  the web config:
  
   <appSettings>
      <remove key="myAdminTool" />
      <add key="myAdminTool" value="admin.aspx,admin.aspx,admin.aspx" />
      <add key="NewKey0" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 11:26:43" />
      <add key="NewKey1" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 11:26:50" />
      <add key="NewKey2" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 11:30:30" />
      <add key="NewKey3" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 11:31:31" />
      <add key="NewKey5" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 13:53:15" />
      <add key="NewKey6" value="vrijdag 25 november 2011 14:30:01" />

  back slash indicates end of that particular configuration, in your case each key.

  Let us know further queries.

  <remove key="myAdminTool" />

  It will remove all the previouse values for the 'myAdmingTool" key before assigning the new values. Kind of a reset thing.
