ConfigurationSaveMode Enumeration

.NET Framework 4

Determines which properties are written out to a configuration file.

Namespace: System.Configuration
Assembly: System.Configuration (in System.Configuration.dll)

Copy

public enum ConfigurationSaveMode

	Member name	Description
	Modified	Causes only modified properties to be written to the configuration file, even when the value is the same as the inherited value.
	Minimal	Causes only properties that differ from inherited values to be written to the configuration file.
	Full	Causes all properties to be written to the configuration file. This is useful mostly for creating information configuration files or moving configuration values from one machine to another.

The ConfigurationSaveMode enumeration values identify which properties are written out to a configuration file when calling the Save and SaveAs methods.
