Here is my class, works like a charm :

public static class IniFileManager
{


    [DllImport("kernel32")]
    private static extern long WritePrivateProfileString(string section,
        string key, string val, string filePath);
    [DllImport("kernel32")]
    private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section,
             string key, string def, StringBuilder retVal,
        int size, string filePath);
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
    private static extern int GetPrivateProfileSection(string lpAppName,
             byte[] lpszReturnBuffer, int nSize, string lpFileName);


    /// 

    /// Write Data to the INI File
    /// 
    /// 
    /// Section name
    /// 
    /// Key Name
    /// 
    /// Value Name
    public static void IniWriteValue(string sPath,string Section, string Key, string Value)
    {
        WritePrivateProfileString(Section, Key, Value, sPath);
    }

    /// 

    /// Read Data Value From the Ini File
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    public static string IniReadValue(string sPath,string Section, string Key)
    {
        StringBuilder temp = new StringBuilder(255);
        int i = GetPrivateProfileString(Section, Key, "", temp,
                                        255, sPath);
        return temp.ToString();

    }

}

The use is obviouse since its a static class, just call IniFileManager.IniWriteValue for readsing a section or IniFileManager.IniReadValue for reading a section.
