Examples

The following example shows how to get the SectionInformation metadata that is associated with a ConfigurationSection object.

static public SectionInformation 
    GetSectionInformation()
{

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

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

    SectionInformation sInfo = 
        section.SectionInformation;

    return sInfo;
}
Public Shared Function GetSectionInformation() _
As SectionInformation

    ' Get the current configuration file.
    Dim config _
    As System.Configuration.Configuration = _
    ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( _
    ConfigurationUserLevel.None)

    ' Get the section.
    Dim section As UrlsSection = _
    CType(config.GetSection("MyUrls"), UrlsSection)

    Dim sInfo As SectionInformation = _
    section.SectionInformation

    Return sInfo

End Function 'GetSectionInformation

The following example is an excerpt of the configuration file that is used by the previous example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="MyUrls" type="Samples.AspNet.UrlsSection,
      ConfigurationElement, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
      PublicKeyToken=null" allowDefinition="Everywhere"
      allowExeDefinition="MachineToApplication"
      restartOnExternalChanges="true" />
  </configSections>
  <MyUrls name="MyFavorites">
    <simple name="Contoso" url="http://www.contoso.com" port="8080" />
    <urls>
      <clear />
      <add name="Microsoft" url="http://www.microsoft.com" port="0" />
    </urls>
  </MyUrls>
</configuration>
