Programatically edit Web.config
In my app we allow users to create different instances, each instance has to have access to the profile system.
How do I go about adding sections (into the profile section) programmatically when a new instance is created.

I mean they can set up an instance to run in a particular location, In each location the users will have their own profiles.
this is my current profile section, I want to copy a group with a new id.

<!--When a new site group is added, create a new SiteGroupPreferences_n where n is the Sitegroup_ID from the database-->
<group name="SiteGroupPreferences_1">
<add name="Location_ID" type="System.int32" />
<add name="Location" type="System.string" />

Thanks I will take a look. This is the standard out of the box ASP.Net profiles API. Don't really want to write a new one if we can help it.

Keep in mind that if you edit web.config on the fly the app restarts which can be annoying to users. Its not the ideal place to store information which the user can change.
