SectionInformation.InheritInChildApplications Property

Definition

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the settings that are specified in the associated configuration section are inherited by applications that reside in a subdirectory of the relevant application.

public:
 property bool InheritInChildApplications { bool get(); void set(bool value); };
public bool InheritInChildApplications { get; set; }
member this.InheritInChildApplications : bool with get, set
Public Property InheritInChildApplications As Boolean

Property Value

true if the settings specified in this ConfigurationSection object are inherited by child applications; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Examples

The following example shows how to get the InheritInChildApplications value of a ConfigurationSection object.

static public void GetInheritInChildApps()
{
    SectionInformation sInfo =
        GetSectionInformation();

    bool inheritInChildApps =
        sInfo.InheritInChildApplications;
    Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0}",
        inheritInChildApps.ToString());
}
Public Shared Sub GetInheritInChildApps() 

    Dim sInfo As SectionInformation = _
    GetSectionInformation()
    
    Dim inheritInChildApps As Boolean = _
    sInfo.InheritInChildApplications
    Console.WriteLine("Inherit in child apps: {0}", _
    inheritInChildApps.ToString())

End Sub

Remarks

The InheritInChildApplications property represents the inheritInChildApplications attribute of a location element in a configuration file.

Set InheritInChildApplications to false to prevent settings that are specific to a certain location (such as the root directory of a Web site) from being inherited by applications that exist in subdirectories.

The following example shows how to use this attribute in a configuration file to specify that the settings defined in the location element for the root of a Web site should not be inherited by child applications:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

The InheritInChildApplications property applies only to location-specific configuration settings.
