ConfigurationSection.ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Configuration

Assembly:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.dll

Package:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager v9.0.0-rc.2.24473.5

Source:

ConfigurationSection.cs

Indicates whether the current ConfigurationSection instance should be serialized when the configuration object hierarchy is serialized for the specified target version of the .NET Framework.

protected public:
 virtual bool ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion(System::Runtime::Versioning::FrameworkName ^ targetFramework);

protected internal virtual bool ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion (System.Runtime.Versioning.FrameworkName targetFramework);

abstract member ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion : System.Runtime.Versioning.FrameworkName -> bool
override this.ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion : System.Runtime.Versioning.FrameworkName -> bool

Protected Friend Overridable Function ShouldSerializeSectionInTargetVersion (targetFramework As FrameworkName) As Boolean

Parameters

targetFramework

FrameworkName

The target version of the .NET Framework.

Returns

Boolean

true if the current section should be serialized; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Each configuration section that is created for the .NET Framework 4 and later versions must explicitly override this method and return true, but only if the configuration section is valid for the specified version of the .NET Framework. Existing configuration sections that were created for earlier versions of the .NET Framework do not have to be changed.

The base type contains a default implementation of this method that always returns true. If you implement a configuration section and you do not override this method, by default the configuration section will be serialized for all framework versions.
