I've reported to MS that documentation of
Configuration.Save Method (ConfigurationSaveMode, Boolean) is not detailed enough and they provided the clarification:
The ConfigurationSaveMode parameter can have one of the following values:
|
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. |
|
Minimal |
Causes only properties that differ from inherited values to be written to the configuration file. |
|
Modified |
Causes only modified properties to be written to the configuration file, even when the value is the same as the inherited value |
The additional forceSaveAll is sometimes needed to override the behavior as defined by the ConfigurationSaveMode and force all the configuration properties to be saved. This is a combination of inherited and locally defined or changed properties.
