    Custom Section in web.config

    Hi,

    I'm not sure which section this should reside.
    I've got a custom section declared within my web.config.

    [code]


    [/code]

    and this after

    [code][/code]

    When I try and getSection("MyAppSettings"), the object returns as null. Does anyone have an idea where I'm going wrong. I tried this on my local machine and it worked fine.

    Thanks in advance!

    this is working for me:
    [code]WebConfigurationManager.GetSection("system.net/mailSettings/smtp") as SmtpSection[/code]
    what looks strange to me is the "NameValueFileSectionHandler" that you're using:
    i think (according to this msdn entry) it's not what you are looking for.

    maybe you wanna try the KeyValueConfigurationCollection

    Hi roberkules,

    I moved the

    [code][/code]

    to the end of the web config file and it's working now! I had it just under the configSections declaration before. I can't believe I didn't try that in the first place! :d/

    if you have time you could also look into creating custom ConfigurationSections with custom ConfigurationElements

    i'm using it now and it's nice because you are not limited to name/value collections and you can even specify the type of the values

    cheers,
    robert
