Hello Ivano,
Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service. My name is
Lingzhi Sun [MSFT]. It's my pleasure to work with you on the case.
The problem that you reported can be reproduced on my side. When I set
the SettingElement.Value.ValueXml.InnerText to an empty string, the
corresponding value tag is formed as
<value>
</ value>
This issue occurs when I try to modify both the user settings and the
application settings. The product group and I are researching the root
cause of this problem. We will let you know the result as soon as
possible.
Ivano, could you please let me know how this issue impacts your
application? With the background information, we will do our best to
figure out some appropriate workarounds which suit your specific concern.
If you want to modify the configuration file during application runtime,
here are some possible workarounds.
================
For User Settings:
The user settings are loaded from a file named "user.config" which is under
your user profile. It is generally recommended to use the method that the
following link suggested to modify user settings directly on the
"user.config" file:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/shytyc55.aspx.
================
For Application Settings:
Quote from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/shytyc55.aspx.
"Although you can change and save the values of user-scope settings at run
time, application-scope settings are read-only and cannot be changed
programmatically. You can change application-scope settings when you create
the application by using the Project Designer or by editing the
application's configuration file. For more information, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a65txexh.aspx ."
However, we can treat the configuration file as an XML document to change
the application settings inside. You can find such a method from this
helpful MSDN blog article:

If you have any other questions, please be free to let me know.
Have a nice day!
Regards,
