Custom section in config file problem

1 New Member
Hi,

I have a problem in accessing "sqlServerCatal ogNameOverwrite s" section in app.config file.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <configuration>
  2.   <configSections>
  3.     <section name="sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites"  type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
  4.   </configSections>
  5.  
  6.   <sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites>
  7.     <add key="ISDev17" value="ISDev18" />
  8.   </sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites>
  9. </configuration>
Third party software requires such configuration which i need to modify programatically .

I've tried
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ConfigurationManager.GetSection("sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites")
but this accesses readonly configuration information.


I've also tried

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration (ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
  2. ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection("sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites");
Now i'm in stuck accessing key-value pair.
I should implement "ConfigurationS ection", "ConfigurationE lement", "ConfigurationP roperty" and point to my own type in config file.
Problem is i can't change type, section type must be System.Configur ation.NameValue SectionHandler.

Is any way to change the configuration?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I have implemented a custom config section handler by implementing the IConfigurationSectionHandler interface.

Hi, I have created a custom Config handler for reading a custom config section in my .config file(s) It works very well! I have placed a web.config in my root directory and then I use sub files in sub diretories overriding various settings in the config file. Very nice strategy which really makes it easy to customize generic applications.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
