One of the big problems with what you're doing is that your app.config isn't normally included in your build so when you deploy your application it's not going to be two directories up from your AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory. When you build your project, the app.config is copied to your output directory and renamed to <build_target>.config (i.e. bin\Debug\ReadWriteConfig.exe.config). Also, the System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager API will let you read and update appSettings without having to locate the configuration file and manually parse its XML contents. Take a look at this article for an example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/SystemConfiguration.aspx
