The Last Configuration Section Handler I'll Ever Need
If you've ever seen the web.config file that
ASP.NET uses, and thought, "Wow, I'm so glad they configure things that way,
in this nice, easy-to-use XML file. Wish I could do that!" then you should
check out the System.Configuration
namespace. There's an interface called IConfigurationSectionHandler
that lets you write your own parsers for your application configuration file,
letting you put whatever you want in there. [CraigBlog]
I used Craig's XmlSerializerSectionHandler
today to set up a custom configuration settings section for one of my ASP.NET
assemblies. Kudos to Craig for the very simple and elegant
solution.
