Problem with custom config sections

[Jamie Nordmeyer]

I have the following defined in my app.config file:

<configSections>
	<sectionGroup name="FeedServices">
		<section name="SsnConfiguration" type="FeedLib.SsnConfigurationHandler" />
		<section name="AgencyConfiguration" type="FeedLib.AgencyConfigurationHandler" />
		<section name="CompConfiguration" type="FeedLib.CompConfigurationHandler" />
	</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

<FeedServices>
	<SsnConfiguration type="FeedLib.SsnConfiguration">
	...
	</SsnConfiguration>

	<AgencyConfiguration type="FeedLib.AgencyConfiguration">
	...
	</AgencyConfiguration>

	<CompConfiguration type="FeedLib.CompConfiguration">
	...
	</CompConfiguration>
</FeedServices>

I also have the following code in a .dll file:

config = (SsnConfiguration)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("FeedServices/SsnConfiguration");

I have a command line application with a reference to the .dll file above, and when the above line is called, config is set to null; it's not finding the configuration section. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Kyosa Jamie Nordmeyer - Taekwondo Yi (2nd) Dan Portland, Oregon, USA

The value returned from GetSection() will be the object (if any) returned from your IConfigurationSectionHandler.Create() implementation. Put a breakpoint in your... FeedLib.SsnConfigurationHandler.Create() ...method - it should get hit and you can see any issues in there.
