Caveats & Limitations |
The biggest limitation is we are limited to using the name/value pair type of data in our custom configuration file. One work-around would be to have the utility method figure out what type of handler was expected for the section name. Another is to have a separate method for each section name, i.e., custom .config file. I’ll leave those exercises to the clever reader. Finally, take the time to read the following Microsoft dissertation the format of ASP.NET configuration files. |

Thanks buddy, loved the article. Here is a VB counterpart if anyone needs it: =========================================================== ********* Get Config Values ****************************** =========================================================== Public Shared Function GetConfigValue(ByVal strSectionName As String, ByVal strKeyName As String) As String
Dim temp As String = Nothing
Dim myData As NameValueCollection = DirectCast(ConfigurationManager.GetSection(strSectionName), _ 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 Throw New NullReferenceException("Key name not found: " & strKeyName) End If End If
End Function
=========================================================== **** Write Config Values (NOT TESTED BUT SHOULD WORK) **** ===========================================================
Public Shared Function UpdateConfigValue(ByVal strConfigFilePath As String, ByVal strSectionName As String, _ ByVal strKeyName As String, ByVal strValue As String) As Boolean
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument Dim flag As Boolean = False
xmlDoc.Load(strConfigFilePath)
For Each node As XmlNode In xmlDoc.Item(strSectionName)

'see if we have specified key in config file If node.Attributes.GetNamedItem("key").Value = strKeyName Then

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instead of System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig as ConfigurationSettings is obsolete.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.
