Create/Update Azure App config through .NET 7 C# controller

Question

I am trying to create (update if exists) Azure App Config values through .NET 7 C# controller.

The goal is basically send a key-value pair as json through my controller and let my backend process save that key-value pair to Azure App Config.

So the question is: can I send a key-value pair to Azure App Config through my C# code?

PS: I know it is possible through Azure CLI and Importing through portal :)

Can I send a key-value pair to Azure App Config through my c# code?

Yes, you can send a key-value from Controller Action Method and create a key-value pair in Azure App Configuration.

• As mentioned in the MSDoc, I have used SetConfigurationSetting to create a Key-Value pair.

My appsettings.json file:

"AppConfig": "Endpoint=https://harshuappconfig.azconfig.io;Id=RoKQ;Secret=****************"

My Program.cs file:

var appConfig = builder.Configuration["AppConfig"];
builder.Services.AddAzureAppConfiguration();

My Controller ActionMethod:

  private readonly IConfiguration config;
  private readonly ConfigurationClient configClient;

public HomeController(IConfiguration myconfig, ILogger<HomeController> logger)
 {
     _logger = logger;
     config = myconfig;
     var connectionString = config["AppConfig"];

     configClient = new ConfigurationClient(connectionString);
 }
 public IActionResult Index()
 {
     var KVPair = JObject.Parse(@"{""Name"":""Harshitha"",""SurName"":""Veeramalla""}");
     foreach (var kv in KVPair)
     {

         Console.WriteLine($"Key '{kv.Key}' updated value '{kv.Value}' in Azure App Config.");
         var setting = new ConfigurationSetting(kv.Key, kv.Value.ToString());
         configClient.SetConfigurationSetting(setting);
     }
     return View();
 }

• Here I am sending the JSON object in a string.

Output:
