Cant read custom section in app.config file.

[Guest]

Take a look at my custom configSections definition below. I cant seem to use

ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("referencedAssemblies"
o
ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("assembly"

to work in order to read the values defined. Can someone help me with this? Below the config section is the code i've tried using to read the config file

<configuration><configSections><sectionGroup name="referencedAssemblies"><section name="assembly" type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler" allowLocation="false"/></sectionGroup></configSections><referencedAssemblies><assembly path="c:\one.dll" /><assembly path="c:\two.dll" /><assembly path="c:\three.dll" /></referencedAssemblies></configuration

IDictionary languages = (IDictionary)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("referencedAssemblies")
IDictionary languages = (IDictionary)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("languages")

Both are null

I don't know the requirements of your design, but based on your post one
idea I came up with is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="referencedAssemblies">
<section name="assembly"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" allowLocation="false"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<referencedAssemblies>
<assembly>
<add key="one" value="c:\one.dll" />
<add key="two" value="c:\two.dll" />
<add key="three" value="c:\three.dll" />
</assembly>
</referencedAssemblies>
</configuration>

NameValueCollection test1 =
(NameValueCollection)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("referencedAssemblies/a
ssembly");

This will read all of the assemblies referenced in the <assembly> section
into a NameValueCollection class.
