Question

How can I include a CDATA section in a ConfigurationElement?

Answer 1

+2 A:

In your ConfigurationElement subclass, try overriding SerializeElement using XmlWriter.WriteCData to write your data, and overriding DeserializeElement using XmlReader.ReadContentAsString to read it back.

Answer 2

+2 A:

In your custom configuration element class you need to override method OnDeserializeUnrecognizedElement.

Example:

public class PluginConfigurationElement : ConfigurationElement
{
    public NameValueCollection CustomProperies { get; set; }

    public PluginConfigurationElement()
    {
        this.CustomProperties = new NameValueCollection();
    }

    protected override bool OnDeserializeUnrecognizedElement(string elementName, XmlReader reader)
    {
        this.CustomProperties.Add(elementName, reader.ReadString());
        return true;
    }
}

I had to solve the same issue.

Answer 3

+2 A:

I created a generic solution using this approach. I have encapsulated the functionality into a class called CDataConfigurationElement. You will then have to decorate the property with a corresponding CDataCOnfigurationProperty attribute. Full source code is available here.

no puedo votar pero frantisek solucionó mi problema.

Ahora la solución de jake.stateresa es una buena opción cuando el archivo de configuracion es un poco más complejo.

Gracias
