Some issues about ConfigurationManager

[andreumv]

I have a custom section defined in the app.config of my application and I want to read the parameters and store the values in a custom class, but I find that the code for ConfigurationManager.GetSection() returns a null value, and I can't find the reason. the full code is the following: public class WSProvidersFactory : IConfigurationSectionHandler { public object Create(object parent, object configContext, System.Xml.XmlNode section) { WSProvider objProvider = new WSProvider(); objProvider.Name = section.SelectSingleNode("Name").InnerText; objProvider.Type = section.SelectSingleNode("Type").InnerText; objProvider.Url = section.SelectSingleNode("Url").InnerText; return objProvider; } public static string GetProviderUrl(ServiceType _typeService) { WSProvider _provider = null; switch (_typeService) { case ServiceType .Local: throw new Exception("Not Implemented."); case ServiceType.MainWS: _provider = (WSProvider)System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection ("WebServiceClientProviders/WsNetTiersProviderPrincipal"); break; case ServiceType.AltWS: _provider = (WSProvider)System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection ("WebServiceClientProviders/WsNetTiersProviderSecundario"); break; } return _provider.Url; } [Serializable] private class WSProvider { private string _name; public string Name { get { return _name; } set { _name = value; } } private string _type; public string Type { get { return _type; } set { _type = value; } } private string _url; public string Url { get { return _url; } set { _url = value; } } } } AND the code in the app.config file is this: < < < <
