Web.Config, Custom Section!

[Guest]

I'm trying to store something like this in my web.config file:

<authInfoGrou p>
<authInfo UserId="uid1" Passport="pwd1" Expiry="" />
<authInfo UserId="uid2" Passport="pwd2" Expiry="" />
</authInfoGroup>
To do so, I've created the following section in my web.config:

<configSections >
<sectionGroup name="authInfoG roup">
<section name="authInfo"
type="System.Co nfiguration.Sin gleTagSectionHa ndler, System,
Version=1.0.500 0.0, Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

However, this fails and here's the error desc.:

Sections must only appear once per config file. See the help topic
<location> for exceptions

However, I need to keep the above-mentioned data in my web.config file; and
obviously, there are always more than one authInfo that I'm going to keep.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Mehdi

Change:
[color=blue]
> <authInfoGrou p>
> <authInfo UserId="uid1" Passport="pwd1" Expiry="" />
> <authInfo UserId="uid2" Passport="pwd2" Expiry="" />
> </authInfoGroup>[/color]

To:

<appSettings>
<add key="uid1" value="pwd1,"" />
<add key="uid2" value="pwd2,"" />
</appSettings>


Then, to retrieve the values in another file:

Dim UserInfo as string =
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings("uid1 ")

You could then use various string methods to parse the value for the
password and/or expiration.

Re: Web.Config, Custom Section!

This is the fast solution, but I need the one I described. Any idea?

Re: Web.Config, Custom Section!

I'm confused. Why do you "need" your solution, which doesn't work?

What is it about what I've showed you that won't work for you?

This is how you store user defined values in Web.Config and then retrieve
them.

Re: Web.Config, Custom Section!

Try

<authInfoGrou p>
<authInfos>
<authInfo UserId="uid1" Passport="pwd1" Expiry="" />
<authInfo UserId="uid2" Passport="pwd2" Expiry="" />
</authInfos>
</authInfoGroup>

And

<configSections >
<sectionGroup name="authInfoG roup">
<section name="authInfos "
type="System.Co nfiguration.Sin gleTagSectionHa ndler, System,
Version=1.0.500 0.0, Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9"/>
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>

The code in your class that implements IConfigurationS ectionHandler
should then be able to move through the XmlNode.ChildNo des
collection inspecting each <authInfo>.

Hope this helps.

Re: Web.Config, Custom Section!

Missed the significance of SingleTagSectio nHandler and had thought
your were writing your on implementation of
IConfigurationS ectionHandler(w hich might be an idea?).

But try this setup

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<configSections >
<section name="myCustomS ection"
type="System.Co nfiguration.Sin gleTagHandler,
System, Version=1.0.330 0.0, Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= b77a5c561934e08 9" />
</configSections>

<myCustomSectio n mykey="myvalue" />
</configuration>

which comes from
