Create Web.Config group

[shapper]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a custom Web.Config group?
I am creating various classes that need some parameters to be defined
by the user that uses these classes.

So i was thinking about placing that information on Web.Config.

Thanks,
Miguel

Miguel-

Yeah, if you're using .NET 2.0 or higher, they're called config sections.

Scott wrote up a good article at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/032807-1.aspx.

HTH.

Yes, this is done quite regularly with controls added to sites. Consider,
for example, the AJAX bits in ASP.NET. Here is one example (probably not the
best, but it is one):

<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="NewSectionGroup">
<section name="NewSection"
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler,System" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<NewSectionGroup>
<NewSection>
<add key="key1" value="value1" /> <add key="key2" value="value2" />
</NewSection>
</NewSectionGroup>
