Examples

The following example shows how to use the LockAttributes property.

// Show how to use LockAttributes.
// It locks and unlocks all the urls elements.
static void LockAttributes()
{

    try
    {
        // Get the current configuration file.
        System.Configuration.Configuration config =
            ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(
            ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

        // Get the MyUrls section.
        UrlsSection myUrlsSection =
            config.GetSection("MyUrls") as UrlsSection;

        if (myUrlsSection == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Failed to load UrlsSection.");
        }

        {

            IEnumerator elemEnum =
                 myUrlsSection.Urls.GetEnumerator();

            while (elemEnum.MoveNext())
            {

                // Get the current element.
                ConfigurationElement element =
                    myUrlsSection.Urls[i];

                // Get the lock attributes collection of 
                // the current element.

Remarks

The LockAttributes property allows you to lock all the attributes you specify.

To do that you use the Contains method, as explained in the Example section.

Note

The LockAttributes property allows you to prevent the child configuration elements of the element to which you apply the rule from being modified. Use LockItem if you want to put a general lock on the element itself and its child elements.

Notes to Inheritors

If you use the LockAllAttributesExcept and LockAttributes properties at the same time, the most restrictive rule applies.
