Configuration Section

[shapper]

Hello,

I am trying to get a custom configuration section as follows:

EnvironmentConfigurationSection environment =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("environment") as
EnvironmentConfigurationSection;

But I keep getting the same error:

The Configuration property 'Cdn' may not be derived from
ConfigurationSection

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? My code is the following:

public partial class EnvironmentConfigurationSection :
ConfigurationSection {

[ConfigurationProperty("Cdn")]
public CdnConfigurationSection Cdn { get { return this["Cdn"] as
CdnConfigurationSection; } }

} // EnvironmentConfigurationSection

public class CdnConfigurationSection : ConfigurationSection {

[ConfigurationProperty("google", IsRequired = true, IsKey = false,
IsDefaultCollection = true)]
public CdnGoogleConfigurationElementCollection Google { get { return
this["google"] as CdnGoogleConfigurationElementCollection; } }

} // CdnConfigurationSection

public class CdnGoogleConfigurationElementCollection :
ConfigurationElementCollection {

[ConfigurationProperty("key", IsRequired = true)]
public String Key { get { return this["key"] as String; } } // Key

public CdnGoogleConfigurationElement this[Int32 index] {
get {
return base.BaseGet(index) as CdnGoogleConfigurationElement;
}
set {
if (base.BaseGet(index) != null) {
base.BaseRemoveAt(index);
}
this.BaseAdd(index, value);
}
} // CdnGoogleConfigurationElement

protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement() {
return new CdnGoogleConfigurationElement();
} // CreateNewElement

protected override Object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement
element) {
return ((CdnGoogleConfigurationElement)element).Name;
} // GetElementKey

} // CdnGoogleConfigurationElementCollection

public class CdnGoogleConfigurationElement : ConfigurationElement {

[ConfigurationProperty("name", IsRequired = true)]
public String Name { get { return this["name"] as String; } }

[ConfigurationProperty("version", IsRequired = true)]
public String Version { get { return this["version"] as String; }}

} // CdnGoogleConfigurationElement


Thank You,

Miguel

It sounds like you're not allowed to have configuration sections within
configuration sections.

It sounds like you're not allowed to have configuration sections within
configuration sections.

Exactly, and this can be a little confusing at first. In fact, a
ConfigurationSection is always "toplevel". To nest further,
ConfigurationElement is what you want to use. While
ConfigurationProperty translates to an XML attribute,
ConfigurationElement translates to a nested tag.

Using Configuration Element worked fine.

Thank you,
