Here is my app.config
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="procedureList" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Version=4.0.30319, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
</configSections>
<procedureList>
<add key="NAS.spBusObjGetLineProd" value="@area='Melt Shop';@endDt=?date?;@dayonly=1;@obj='Melt Shop Business Objective" />
<add key="NAS.spBusObjGetLineProd" value="@area='Cold Mill';@endDt=?date?;@dayonly=1;@obj='Cold Mill Business Objective" />
</procedureList>
<appSettings>
<add key="Connstr" value=""/>
<add key="Userid" value=""/>
<add key="Timeout" value=""/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
But when I call it in code, I'm getting a null back
public void samplemethod()
{
NameValueCollection nvc = ConfigurationManager.GetSection("procedureList") as NameValueCollection;
string[] keys = nvc.AllKeys;
}
I would appreciate any help pointing out what I've done wrong
Using section handlers to group settings in the configuration file
For example you can follow something like the following
private void ReadSettings()
{
NameValueCollection loc =
(NameValueCollection )ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("procedureList");
}
MSDN ConfigurationManager.GetConfig Method
If you are testing your class you must copy the configuration to the app.config
in your Test project.
using immediate window check which config file it is pointing to. in my case i had app.config which i am expecting it to read, but on using the command. ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None) it is pointing to something else like nuintrunner.exe.config as that info is loaded into bin. this help in loading the right configuration file
