I have a custom config which is based on some classes. My problem is that I get an error saying that a config element is unrecognized. The class is as follows:
[ConfigurationCollection(typeof(SectionItem), AddItemName = "Item", CollectionType = ConfigurationElementCollectionType.BasicMap)]
public class Sections : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
public SectionItem this[int index]
{
get { return BaseGet(index) as SectionItem; }
set
{
if (BaseGet(index) != null)
{
BaseRemoveAt(index);
}
BaseAdd(index, value);
}
}
public new SectionItem this[string response]
{
get { return (SectionItem)BaseGet(response); }
set
{
if (BaseGet(response) != null)
{
BaseRemoveAt(BaseIndexOf(BaseGet(response)));
}
BaseAdd(value);
}
}
protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
{
return new SectionItem();
}
protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
{
return ((SectionItem)element).Key;
}
}
And the SectionItem
class:
public class SectionItem : ConfigurationElement
{
[ConfigurationProperty("key", IsRequired = true, IsKey = true)]
public string Key
{
get { return this["key"] as string; }
}
}
If I add a configuration property of type SectionItems
in the Sections
class that won't work for me, because I want to have multiple SectonItems
inside the Section
tag in the config file. I've searched for solutions but everything I've found didn't do the trick with this.
For a better understanding of what I'm trying to achieve this is how my config looks:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="AdminConfig" type="XmlTest.AdminConfig, XmlTest"/>
</configSections>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
</startup>
<AdminConfig>
<Field name="field1" key="12345" path="asd"/>
<Section>
<Item key="12345"/>
<Item key="54321"/>
</Section>
</AdminConfig>
</configuration>
OK so I've found the problem. Although the Sections
class had this [ConfigurationCollection(typeof(SectionItem), AddItemName = "Item", CollectionType = ConfigurationElementCollectionType.BasicMap)]
I had to annotate the property in the ConfigurationSection
class, as follows:
[ConfigurationProperty("Section")]
[ConfigurationCollection(typeof(Sections), AddItemName = "Item")]
public Sections Sections
{
get
{
return (Sections)this["Section"];
}
}
Now the items are recognized and stuff is working properly.
