Question

I’ve been following this tutorial on msdn which loads a custom configSection. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationcollectionattribute.aspx I’m doing this in asp.net and I keep getting an error on

System.Configuration.Configuration config =
                ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
                ConfigurationUserLevel.None) as Configuration;

so i removed that and just used

UrlsSection myUrlsSection =
           ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MyUrls") as UrlsSection;

Could someone copy and past the code from msdn and make a project in asp.net and test the code and see if they get same error or see if myUrlsSection = null and if you don’t get a problem could you share what you did to make it work

Answer 1

This is what I tried and it works nice.

UrlsSection myUrlsSection =
           ConfigurationManager.GetSection("MyUrls") as UrlsSection;

My UrlsSection class

namespace MyProject
{
    public class UrlsSection : ConfigurationSection
    {
    }
}

And my config entry.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="MyUrls" type="MyProject.UrlsSection, MyProject" />
  </configSections>
  <MyUrls />
</configuration>
