| Benefits |
This methodology provides several benefits:
- We are using standard .NET configuration processing for custom work.
- It probably meets “Best Practices” standards.
- It is extremely simple to add new custom configuration files and data in the future.
- By having the section name as a parameter of our utility method, we don’t have to write methods for each new file in the future.

Thanks buddy, loved the article. Here is a VB counterpart if anyone needs it:

********* Get Config Values ******************************

NameValueCollection)
If myData Is Nothing Then
'Section name not found
Throw New NullReferenceException("Section name not found:" & strSectionName)
Else
'section found, try to get the value
temp = myData.Get(strKeyName)
If temp Is Nothing Then
'Key name not found, throw new exception

Good article. In order to MSDN Library suggestion, you must use System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection instead of System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig as ConfigurationSettings is obsolete.

Thanks Steven Archibald, this article was good and helped me a lot.
In addition to this, i wanted to use Release.xml file rather than Release.config file. Is the code works same for the .xml file?
Anticipating your response.

Thanks, this was a huge help. From all the other posts I've found out there it looked like creating custom sections was a huge pain (so much it was easier just to parse the xml doc). This saved me a lot of frustration.
