Remarks

The ConfigurationPropertyCollection class represents the collection of the ConfigurationProperty objects that can be attributes or ConfigurationElement objects of a configuration element.

The ConfigurationProperty class represents an individual configuration setting. It allows you to get or set the name, type, and default value for a particular configuration entity (attribute or element). Additional options allow you to specify whether the attribute is required, is an element key, or represents a default element collection.
