Custom section in config file problem

[valdas]

Hi,

I have a problem in accessing "sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites" section in app.config file.

<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites"  type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
  </configSections>
 
  <sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites>
    <add key="ISDev17" value="ISDev18" />
  </sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites>
</configuration>

Third party software requires such configuration which i need to modify programatically.

I've tried

ConfigurationManager.GetSection("sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites")

but this accesses readonly configuration information.


I've also tried

Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration (ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection("sqlServerCatalogNameOverwrites");

Now i'm in stuck accessing key-value pair.
I should implement "ConfigurationSection", "ConfigurationElement", "ConfigurationProperty" and point to my own type in config file.
Problem is i can't change type, section type must be System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler.

Is any way to change the configuration?

Any help is appreciated.
