[2005] set app.config value

[jlbantang]

is there a missing line why the new values were not save to app.config?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>  
  <appSettings>
    <add key ="defaultuser" value ="Test"/>
    <add key ="defaultpass" value ="1234abcd"/>
  </appSettings> 
</configuration>

ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("defaultuser") = userNameTextBox.Text.ToString
        ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("defaultpass") = passwordTextBox.Text.ToString

Have you read the code in my Protected Configuration thread? There's more to saving changes to the actual config file than just that. All you're doing is editing VB objects held in memory.
