System.Configuration Namespace
-
Is there a way me to use the classes in System.Configuration in a read/write way. I've looked through the examples and documentation ant it seems that it only supports read-only use. I would like to use this functionality in a Options form that would read and save the configurations for my application. Any Ideas? Is there a write-able equivalent to the AppSettingsReader Class?

Off the top of my head, I would think it dangerous to allow a system namespace to be read/write, but I'm pretty new to this myself. This does not keep you from creating your own class though. Still coaxing software out of the can after all these years...

Yeah, thought so. I am creating a class using xml though. Thanks.

No, you can't use the Configuration class as Writable. But, you can write out the Properties and such using XML. For an example of this, check out this article, Creating Your Own Dynamic Properties and Preserve Property Settings in Visual Basic .NET [^], on MSDN.

Great article! Though for my purposes I think it would be better if I create my own class to write dynamic properties. I was hoping to add a feature that will allow addition of new configuration sections and additional attributes. Thanks a lot!!

How do I access a custom section in a custom section group? I was hoping to have something like this:

Ok. Sorry about that. After doing some research I got what I wanted. Related question: Can I have multiple sections in a sectionGroup? Like this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="CustomSectionGroup"> <section name="CustomSection" type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler" /> <section name="CustomSection2" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSection" /> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <CustomSectionGroup> <CustomSection setting1="value1" setting2="value2" /> <CustomSection2> <add key="key1" value="value1"> <add key="key2" value="value2"> </ CustomSection2> </CustomSectionGroup> </configuration> -
