Configuration.GetSection Method

public:
 Microsoft::Web::Administration::ConfigurationSection ^ GetSection(System::String ^ sectionPath);

public Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection GetSection (string sectionPath);

member this.GetSection : string -> Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection

Public Function GetSection (sectionPath As String) As ConfigurationSection

Parameters

Returns

The ConfigurationSection object.

Examples

The following example gets the <moduleProviders> section and displays the name of each element in the section.

public void GetGetSection(ServerManager manager)
{
    Configuration config = manager.GetAdministrationConfiguration();
    ConfigurationSection configSection = config.GetSection("moduleProviders");
    ConfigurationElementCollection elementCollection =
        configSection.GetCollection();
    Console.WriteLine("There are " + elementCollection.Count.ToString() +
        " elements in the section.");
    foreach (ConfigurationElement element in elementCollection)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\t {0}", element.Attributes["name"].Value);
    }
}

Remarks

Configuration settings are contained in sections that group similar settings together for convenience. The GetSection(String) overload retrieves a configuration section by using its path.

public:
 Microsoft::Web::Administration::ConfigurationSection ^ GetSection(System::String ^ sectionPath, System::String ^ locationPath);

public Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection GetSection (string sectionPath, string locationPath);

member this.GetSection : string * string -> Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection
