    initializing objects via an xml file



    Hi,

    I want to initialize a number of objects via an xml file, and I was
    wondering if that can be done through a section in the app.config file
    without the need to use another config file.

    example:
    if we have the class:
    Public Class myClass

    Public property prop1
    Public property prop2

    ....

    End Class

    the config file would be something like this:
    <config>
    <MyClass>
    <prop1>abc</prop1>
    <prop2>xyz</prop2>
    </MyClass>
    <MyClass>
    <prop1>deg</prop1>
    <prop2>klm</prop2>
    </MyClass>
    </config>

    is there a way to do that in the app.config file ?

    Thank you

      I don't think there is an automatic way of doing this, but you could
      easily write a procedure to grab the values from the app.config file
      and assign them to class's properties. Everything you need should be
      in the System.Xml namespace.

      Thanks,

          You would have to create a class derived from ConfigurationSe ction and
          then add an entry for this class in <ConfigSections element in the
          app.config.

          In code, you could then access your config section with code similar
          to this:

          //SaafProvisionin gSection cfg =
          (SaafProvisioni ngSection)Confi gurationManager .GetSection("Sa afProvisioning" );

          Dim cfg As MyConfigSection =
          DirectCast(Conf igurationManage r.GetSection("M yConfigSection" ),
          MyConfigSection )

          And then access the properties of the class.

          Look up ConfigurationSe ction in the help and it should tell how to
          derive from it.

              Oops! Ignore commented C# line (the one with SaafProvisionin gSection)
              that is not needed.
