Get AppSettings Section

[shapper]

Hello,

I am getting the AppSettings section as follows:

AppSettingsSect ion appSettingSecti on =
(AppSettingsSec tion)Configurat ionManager.GetS ection("appSett ings");

However, I am getting the following error:

Unable to cast object of type
'System.Configu ration.KeyValue InternalCollect ion' to type
'System.Configu ration.AppSetti ngsSection'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Miguel

Mismatching objects...

System.Configur ation.Configura tion config =
ConfigurationMa nager.OpenExeCo nfiguration(Con figurationUserL evel.None);
AppSettingsSect ion appSettingSecti on =
(AppSettingsSec tion)config.Get Section("appSet tings");

But I am building a custom Web.Config section and I am using the
following to get my section:

object projSetings =
ConfigurationMa nager.GetSectio n("projSettings ");

So I though I could use it directly only by setting the type. I am
going to try your approach ...

I am having troubles with my custom configuration section and no one
is able to answer me ... I will try something else and probably post a
new thread about it.

Ooops, I am getting the following error:

"exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe"

In: System.Configur ation.Configura tion config =
ConfigurationMa nager.OpenExeCo nfiguration(Con figurationUserL evel.None);

Any idea?

Thanks,
Miguel

ConfigurationMa nager.OpenWebCo nfiguration(Con figurationUserL evel.None);

There is not OpenWebConfigur ation method in
ConfigurationMa nager ... :-)

Re: Get AppSettings Section

I've been trying to use this technique to get the appSettings section, but I
cannot figure out how to cast the result of GetSection(). Any ideas? I keep
coming back to the same tail chasing.

Simply put, how does one access the appSettings section using
WebConfiguratio nManager?

Re: Get AppSettings Section

My bad...I was looking in the wrong namespace...was looking in
System.Web.Conf iguration instead of System.Configur ation. Slapping my own
paw...
