Reading Web.Config
-

Hi, I want to create a class library that will read certain sections of my web.config, not just in the configuration section, how can I do this without doing the cheap and nastly way, reading the whole web.config into an xml dom and parsing. Thanks, Gerry.

NameValueCollectionof your custom config section;NameValueCollection config = (NameValueCollection) ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("mygroup/nestedgroup/mysection");Then you access theNameValueCollectionlike so;config["key_one"]It is all in MSDNPaul Watson

That's fine but it's not in the configuration section. Example: I want to read the name and path attributes of the forms element. Gerry.
