How to create custom config section in app.config

Question

I want to add the custom configsection in the app.config file as follows

Answer 1

I base all my configuration management code on the classes I collected here. This is an example, and here's some documentation. Note that this is code I personally refactored from a blog post that isn't available on-line any more.

Answer 2

You should check out Jon Rista's three-part series on .NET 2.0 configuration up on CodeProject.

• Unraveling the mysteries of .NET 2.0 configuration
• Decoding the mysteries of .NET 2.0 configuration
• Cracking the mysteries of .NET 2.0 configuration

Highly recommended, well written and extremely helpful! I've learned how to deal with custom config sections from those excellent articles.
