C#: Reading MembershipSecti on from Web.config

[Kbalz]

I need to read values from the Web.Config xml file, particularly the
<MembershipSect ion. Using asp.net 2.0, C#.

I'm writing a custom membership provider.. I've set up a class that
inherets from MembershipProvi er, and all of the override methods have
been started.. but for instanace in the EnabledPassword Reset method, I
want the return value to be read from the config section
enablePasswordR eset..

I see dozens of examples explaining how to read from the appSettings
section, or ConnectionStrin g settings.. but zero examples pulling
values from the membership section in C#. I'd rather have these values
in the xml file rather than returning the value in the class methods
directly.

For instance: my membership section looks like this

<configuration. . <system.web..
<membership defaultProvider ="MembershipPro vider">
<providers>
<add connectionStrin gName="Connecti onString"
applicationName ="secure2"
enablePasswordR eset="false" ****
passwordFormat= "Hashed"
minRequiredPass wordLength="5"
minRequiredNona lphanumericChar acters="0"
name="Membershi pProvider"
type="secure.au th._auth"
requiresQuestio nAndAnswer="fal se"
requiresUniqueE mail="true" />
</providers>
</membership>
... </system.web..</configuration>

And in secure.auth._au th, the other ride methods reside.. here is one:

public override bool EnablePasswordR eset
{
get { throw new Exception("The method or operation is not
implemented."); }
}

I'd like this method to return "false" in this case, because the method
reads the line in the config snippet from above where the **** are
located.
