I need to create a configuration section, that is able to store key-value pairs in an app.config file and the key-value pairs can be added runtime regardless of their type. It is also important that the value keeps its original type. I need to extend the following interface public interface IPreferencesBackend { bool TryGet<T>(stri...

I was wondering if there's a proper way to check the data that has been provided -- adding some business logic.

I've been scouring the net for the last 3 days, and can't find any reference to this question. I've created a custom configuration class to be used with my app.config. Everything works fine.

I'm trying to get a custom web.config section to get inherited by an application's web.config in a website subfolder. The custom section works fine in the main website, but it appears the custom section isn't inherited.

Hi, We are trying to create a "proxy" class that would serve the WCF service with its configuration properties. Because we can't store those properties in the app.config file, i'm looking for a way to "proxy" it out and use custom configurationSection which would provide all these data upon request. In order to do so, i would need to ...

I have a console application that is trying to load a CustomConfigurationSection from a web.config file. The custom configuration section has a custom configuration element that is required.
