I am working on an application that has a large set of configuration values, modelled and organized through the .NET configuration types from the System.Configuration namespace (i.e. ConfigurationSection, ConfigurationProperty, ConfigurationElement, etc…). Several values are required and may or may not have defaults, while others are optional and have defaults.

I am curious if a tool or application exists that can reflect over the types that implement a configuration section and generate a sample XML, XML Schema, or other document describing the configuration. Such a tool would be great for people that manage the application in production, and don’t need to navigate several classes in a repository to determine which configuration values are allowed.

    I found the Configuration Section Designer project on CodePlex, which amongst other things will generate a schema for a given set of configuration types.

    Just what I need!
