About the WebConfigurationManager class

In Beta 2 there are now two classes, ConfigurationManager and the WebConfigurationManager.The ConfigurationManager will not longer have methods for getting the web applications configuration file. Instead you shoud use the WebConfigurationFile.If you want to update or add sections to the app.config,you should use the ConfigurationManager class.
在测试版2.0中有两个类：ConfigurationManager和 WebConfigurationManager.ConfigurationManager不再是从网页配置文件获取设置的方法，替代它的是使用 WebConfigurationManager.如果你想更新或者是添加节到文件app.config，你须使用 ConfigurationManager类。

The following is an example of how you can add an appSettings key to the web.config and also how to update an existing key:
接下来的一个例子是如何添加程序设置键值到web.config与如何更新存在的键值：
Configuration config=WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
if(config.AppSettings.Settings["MyAppKey"]==null)
  config.AppSettings.Settings.Add("MyAppKey","Hello!");
else
  config.AppSettings.Settings["MyAppKey"].Value="Hello2!";
config.Save();
